Superstar Rajinikanth is currently busy with the shooting of his next outing, Darbar, directed by A.R.Murugadoss and produced by Lyca. This film will feature Rajinikanth as a cop and the star cast also includes Nayanthara, Yogi Babu, Nivetha Thomas, Suniel Shetty, Prateik Babbar, and others. Rajinikanth is in good health now. But one cannot forget the down phase of his health situation in 2011, eight years ago. The worst thing was the rumour that speculated that Rajinikanth was dead during his medical treatment. However, Rajini's family came out in immediate response clarifying that the legendary actor is very much alive and requested not to speculate any false rumours.

Rajinikanth was taken to a leading private hospital in Singapore for medical treatment after falling ill immediately after the launch of Rana with Deepika Padukone, in K.S.Ravikumar's direction. To put a full stop to the death rumours and other speculations, Aishwarya Dhanush had released a picture of Rajinikanth from the hospital that came as a sigh of relief for the fans. After a long and serious medication, Rajinikanth was announced to be completely fine and back to normalcy.

This news made the people of Tamil Nadu smile in happiness. The visual of Rajinikanth walking out of the hospital and greeting his fans would definitely be registered in the hearts of every Thalaivar fan. Rajinikanth thanked the people of Tamil Nadu wholeheartedly for keeping him in their prayers that helped him to recover from the illness. There has been no look back since then and Superstar has given films of different themes and contents in the form of Kochadaiiyaan, Kabali, Kaala, 2.0, and Petta. 

Eight years later, now, on this same day, Rajini's younger daughter, Soundarya has shared a throwback video. This video was the first coverage of Rajinikanth coming out of the hospital after fighting all the health issues. Soundarya tweeted, "A day we will forever remember,the day we returned with Appa to Chennai after his medical treatment in singapore #13.7.11 8 years ago. You are truly gods child Appa. To all those hearts who prayed and continue to pray for my father and my family THANK YOU " Check out the video below these images:
