Singapore:
Superstar Rajinikanth has called DMK President M Karunanidhi. DMK sources say the actor consoled the former Chief Minister about his electoral losses. "You've seen many ups and downs. Don't worry about anything. Take care of your health," Rajinikanth is reported to have said.
Yesterday, the actor called new Chief Minister Jayalalithaa after being discharged from the hospital in Singapore where he was admitted late last month for respiratory problems. He congratulated the AIADMK chief on her massive victory in the state elections. He also told her he would return soon to India.
The actor's son-in-law, Dhanush tweeted yesterday: "Superstar discharged from hospital. He has recovered completely and taking rest. Soon national award celebrations :) god bless"
His family said the actor is on a vacation and will return to India in July.
Rajinikanth was shooting for the Tamil period film "Rana" on April 29 when he complained of exhaustion. Since then, he has been in and out of different hospitals.
He travelled to Singapore on May 28 where he was admitted to the Mount Elizabeth Hospital.
