Lokesh Kanagaraj, who opened up about Rajinikanth’s health condition, revealed that he spoke to superstar recently, and he is recovering well.

According to the filmmaker, the leading man informed the team about his plans to get the non-surgical procedure done by the end of September 2024, before they kickstarted the Vizag schedule.

Lokesh Kanagaraj, who revealed that Rajinikanth was not admitted due to any medical emergency, further added that the same was exaggerated by the media.

The filmmaker stated that the media reports caused panic among the Coolie team, even though the superstar spoke to them about his treatment before.

Sun Pictures, on the other hand, would have immediately cancelled the shoot, if it was an emergency.

The filmmaker, who spoke about Coolie shoot plans, revealed that Rajinikanth wrapped up his Vizag portions on September 28, 2024.

The next schedule of the upcoming action thriller film will start rolling in Chennai, on October 15, 2024, after the Ayudha Pooja break.

The superstar, who is under bed rest for three weeks after undergoing the non-surgical procedure, is planning to resume the filming of the project by the last week of October.
