Renowned Tamil actor and politician Vijayakanth has extended his stay in a private hospital in Chennai by an additional 14 days. The veteran artist was admitted a few days ago due to a decline in his health, leading to continuous monitoring by medical professionals. According to the latest health update from the hospital administration, there has been improvement, but instability in the past 24 hours necessitates pulmonary treatment. The statement expresses hope for his swift recovery, prompting the need for an extended 14-day hospitalization period.
Vijayakanth’s health has been a source of concern over the past few years, and his recent hospitalization has saddened fans who earnestly wish for his complete recuperation. The actor’s health deteriorated after experiencing a severe cold and cough, resulting in respiratory issues that led to his admission to a Chennai hospital.
On the professional front, Vijayakanth’s last on-screen appearance was in the 2015 Tamil film ‘Sagaptham,’ where he played a cameo role in his son Shamuga Pandian’s debut. Although slated to feature in Vijay Milton’s ‘Mazhai Pidikkatha Manithan’ alongside Vijay Antony, there is currently no update on his participation, as shooting is pending.
In the realm of politics, Vijayakanth, who contested in the Ulundurpet constituency during the 2016 Tamil Nadu state assembly election, faced defeat in the polls. Despite his political setbacks, fans and well-wishers remain hopeful for his recovery and well-being.
