Lokesh Kanagaraj Dismisses Rumours Of Rajinkanth's Health Being Affected By Coolie Shoot: 'Sad To See False News'
Rajinikanth has been discharged from the hospital after he got treated for the swelling in his main blood vessel leaving his heart. There were several rumours making rounds on the internet that the superstar's health got affected during the shooting of 'Coolie'. Film's director Lokesh Kangaraj shared Rajinikanth’s health update and also dismissed all the rumours of his health getting deteriorated during the shoot.
Clarifying the rumours, the filmmaker said, “Rajini sir is recovering well, I spoke to him over the phone. I want to clarify something. He informed the team around forty days ago that he would undergo treatment. So, it’s sad to see false news spread on social media. Ultimately, Rajini sir’s health is more important than shooting for Coolie. If he had any discomfort on sets, we would’ve cancelled shooting, and the entire unit would’ve been by his side at the hospital. It was disheartening to see such falsehood being peddled by YouTubers.”
