Rajinikanth advised not to do any stunts

Southern superstar Rajnikanth aka Shivajirao Gaikwad, who arrived home after a month long hospitalisation from Singapore, is probably hiding a dark secret from his fans.

Earlier, highly placed sources had alleged that the Tamil icon had gone through a secret kidney transplant, forty odd days ago, at the Singapore Hospital, the news of which the family kept under wraps, terming it to be a private thing and ensuring the actor gets rest.

However, the news that might prove to be a dampner for Rajini fans is the fact that as per the insiders, the doctors have advised the actor not to do any sort of stunt/action sequences, neither perform tedious dance steps in the future.

"Rajini is fit, but in a fragile condition and any sort of excess physical exertion could seriously affect his health. Perhaps the actor has been advised to do only performance oriented roles and a minimum of dancing. He has to strictly avoid action sequences presently," added a medical practitioner on the basis of anonymity.

Sources from the Tamil Industry suggest that a couple of body doubles have already been arranged for Rajinikanth, for the next schedule of his film opposite Deepika Padukone, which is said to be an action oriented flick. Also, there'll be a lot digital FX, where Rajini's face would be masked to a stunt man (body double) and replicated through FX in the critical action sequences.

Apparently, Rajinikanth’s ailment was hidden from the media, for it would have had adverse effect on his film trade, since around Rs 100 odd crores are still on stake, thanks to Rajini's expensive projects!
