Rajini to start shooting for Rana by August

In what could be great news for millions of fans of Rajini and his well-wishers, reports emanating from Singapore say that superstar Rajinikanth might start shooting for his upcoming film ‘Rana’ by end-August or early September, depending on how fast he recuperates from the illness which had made him bed-ridden for the past four weeks. 

Rajini is presently recuperating at Mount Elizabeth Hospital, Singapore. Though no official briefing has been done by the hospital, sources close to the family of superstar say that he has started going for his ‘morning walk’ inside the huge premises in which the hospital is situated. The dialysis process which had been performed on him many times in the recent past is also stopped now as he has made good progress, the sources add.

Ironically, Rajini fell ill on the very day ‘Rana’ was launched in Chennai on 29th April. The star shot for some sequences during the day time and by evening, he had to be rushed to a Chennai hospital. The functioning of his kidneys have now become ‘normal’, thereby averting the possibility that the superstar might be operated upon as part of the treatment.

Rajini would be discharged in a week’s time, it is said. The star would, however, continue to stay in Singapore for a month or so by taking complete rest and recharging his energy. After his return to Chennai in end-July or August, Rajini might start shooting by end-August or early September, it is reliably learnt.
