Rumors riff across all film circles about Rajinikanth death news and Rajinikanth family downplays these gossips saying that they are baseless and Rajinikanth is doing good. Rajinikanth's family members (wife Latha, daughters Aishwarya and Soundarya, son-in-law, Dhanush) clarified that Rajinikanth is absolutely fine there's nothing to worry about his health condition. Accentuating that Rajinikanth is recovering, they said that the superstar needs rest but the rumors are creating trouble. Scores of Rajinkanth fans are getting tensed about his health condition since there was no statement made by doctors on his health condition.

Rajinikanth was hospitalized earlier this month, after the superstar complained of stomach infection. After being treated for some time he was discharged from the hospital the same day with doctors advising complete rest. However, Rajinkanth was hospitalized for the second time within few days due to breathlessness and lung infection and this has triggered his death rumors.
