The actor was admitted here on 25 December with severe hypertension and exhaustion and he was placed under close medical supervision and treated by a team of doctors.
In addition to medication and diet, Rajinikanth has been advised complete bed rest for one week to help avoid stress in view of his post-kidney transplant status, labile hypertension and age.
