All reports about action sequences and scenes in the Rajinikanth starrer Rana being changed to accommodate the superstar’s health conditions are rubbished by K. S. Ravi Kumar,who is directing the film. “Not a single scene is being changed. The script remains untouched. Only the shooting has been postponed due to his illness. We are waiting for the superstar to recover and will start shooting in September,” maintains the director.

It was after the mahurat of Rana on April 29 that Rajinikanth complained of uneasiness and was treated for dehydration. On May 13 he was admitted to Sri Ramachandran Medical Centre in Chennai with acute symptoms of breathlessness and fever. Later,he was flown to Singapore’s Mount Elizabeth Hospital and Medical Centre for further treatment. However,his family said that they were going abroad for “rejuvenation,better health care and privacy.”

Meanwhile,in Chennai,over 500 film directors and 1000 assistant directors performed a special prayer for the superstar to get well soon and return home.

Rajinikanth’s last release was Enthiran (Robot in Hindi),his highest grosser so far. Made at a budget of over Rs 150 crore,the film had raked in twice the amount. The film’s success was also used as a case-study at IIM Ahmedabad. While there has been talk of a Robot 2,Srinivas Mohan,the VFX supervisor who won the National Award,says that Shankar,who directed Robot,is busy with the remake of 3 Idiots,which is slated to release in Diwali. “Once that is done,we will start discussions on Robot 2,” he said.
