Bharathiraja, the veteran filmmaker-turned-actor has been admitted to a hospital due to undisclosed health issues. As per reports, Bharathiraja had fainted at the Chennai Airport when he was traveling to Madurai and was immediately rushed to the hospital. As per the latest reports, the senior filmmaker has now been shifted to another hospital.

According to the reports published by Indiaglitz, the 79-year-old has been shifted to a renowned private hospital in Chennai for advanced treatment.

Earlier, while addressing the media, Bharathiraja's son Manoj Bharathi had revealed that his father was suffering from severe dehydration issues.

He has won several awards and accolades including the Indian government's fourth highest civilian award Padma Shri and six National Film Awards.

The filmmaker was recently seen in Thiruchitrambalam, the romantic comedy that featured both him and Dhanush in the titular roles. Bharathiraja played the role of Thiruchitrambalam Sr while Dhanush appeared as his grandson and namesake, Thiruchitrambalam Jr. The veteran director's performance in the movie is getting much love from the audiences.
