Kannada
actor-producer
Raghavendra
Rajkumar
is
recuperating
in
a
private
hospital
here
after
emergent
surgery
conducted
to
remove
a
blood
clot
in
his
brain,
a
hospital
spokesman
said
on
Thursday.
"The
actor
is
responding
to
treatment
and
feeling
better
than
yesterday
(Wednesday
-
when
the
clot
was
detected).
Though
all
his
vital
health
parameters
are
normal,
he
is
still
under
observation," the
spokesman
told
IANS
here.
The
48-year-old
second
son
of
Kannada
thespian
Dr
Rajkumar
was
rushed
to
Columbia
Asia
referral
hospital
in
the
city's
northwest
suburb
early
on
Wednesday
after
he
complained
of
uneasiness
at
a
gym
near
his
residence
where
he
goes
regularly
for
fitness
exercises.
According
to
the
hospital's
consultant
(anesthesiology)
Medha
Huilgol,
the
actor
was
operated
soon
after
admission
to
remove
the
clot
from
one
of
the
blood
vessels
in
the
brain.
"An
angiogram
test
revealed
he
did
not
have
any
heart
problem
though
he
had
undergone
an
angioplasty
procedure
two
decades
ago
at
a
city
hospital
then," Huilgol
told
reporters.
Though
hundreds
of
fans
flocked
to
the
hospital
to
know
Raghavendra's
welfare,
the
hospital
authorities
requested
them
to
disperse
after
meeting
his
brothers
and
relatives
outside
as
the
actor
was
resting
and
should
not
be
disturbed.
"There
is
no
cause
for
worry.
He
is
out
of
danger.
Our
prayers
have
been
answered.
He
is
recovering
from
the
surgery," his
elder
brother
and
popular
Kannada
actor
Shivaraj
Kumar
(SRK)
told
reporters
outside
the
hospital.
Besides
acting
in
a
dozen
Kannada
movies,
Raghavendra
produced
hit
films
such
as
Jackie,
Anna
Bond
and
Yaare
Koogadali,
starring
his
younger
brother
Puneet
Rajkumar.
