Superstar Rajinikanth was on Friday admitted to Apollo Hospitals in Hyderabad for severe blood pressure fluctuations and he was "stable", the hospital said.
Stating that he is "stable and resting", a release from the corporate hospital said the actor will stay in Hyderabad and undergo further investigations on Saturday.
Rajinikanth was shooting for a movie in Hyderabad for the past 10 days and had isolated himself and is being monitored after a few people on the sets tested COVID-19 positive.
The 70-year-old actor, however, tested negative.
"Mr Rajinikanth has been admitted in the hospital today in the morning...Though he did not have any symptoms of COVID-19, his BP showed severe fluctuations and needed further evaluation for which he has been admitted to the hospital," Apollo Hospitals said in a release.
He will be investigated and monitored closely in the hospital till his BP settles down before being discharged, it said.
Apart from fluctuating blood pressure and exhaustion, he does not have any other symptoms and is "haemodynamically" stable, the statement said.
Medications to control his blood pressure are being carefully "titrated", the hospital said in another release later.
