Rajnikanth, who has been taking treatment at Apollo Hospitals Jubilee Hills here for hypertension, has been discharged on Sunday afternoon.

Hospital sources said the actor has left for Chennai from the Begumpet airport.

“His blood pressure has been stabilised, and he is feeling much better. In view of his improved medical condition, he was discharged from the hospital on Sunday afternoon,” a hospital bulletin on his health condition has said.

Rajnikanth was admitted to the hospital on Friday after he complained of fluctuations in blood pressure.

Doctors have advised the actor to take complete bed rest for a week. They also asked him to restrict his physical activity to a minimum and avoid stress.

“In view of his health condition, he has also been counselled to avoid any activity that increases the risk of contracting Covid-19,’’ the team of doctors attending on him said.

The actor is in the city for the last two weeks for the shooting of the film Annatthe. However, the shooting was suspended after a few members in the crew were tested positive for Covid-19.

Though Rajni was tested negative on December 22, his BP was not under control and was admitted to the hospital.
