The health condition of veteran Tamil film director and actor Bharathiraja, who has been hospitalized due to breathlessness, is currently stable, as confirmed by the hospital.
In a medical bulletin, MGM Healthcare, where Bharathiraja is receiving treatment, stated, “Mr. Bharathiraja was admitted with a severe lung infection and is currently being treated in the Critical Care Unit. He is on all appropriate treatment for organ impairments and is being closely monitored by our team of medical experts.”
The hospital further noted, “His condition is stable, and he will continue to require treatment in the Critical Care Unit.”
In the meantime, notable personalities from the film industry, including directors R K Selvamani, Seeman, producer and actor Chitra Laxmanan, as well as directors Lingusamy, Ameer, A R Murugadoss, and Seenu Ramasamy, visited the veteran director at the hospital.
In a video shared after visiting the family, director R K Selvamani remarked, “We came down to meet director Bharathiraja. For the last few days, there have been incorrect reports on social media and in some media outlets regarding his health. We wanted to clarify the status and therefore came to see him today.”
He added, “We met the doctor treating the director, who informed us that Bharathiraja is in the Intensive Care Unit. All his body organs are functioning well. He has experienced a bout of pneumonia, but he is in a stable condition.”
Selvamani further explained, “When we requested to see Bharathiraja, the doctor mentioned that due to a high number of visitors yesterday, his infection had increased. Consequently, he advised against allowing further visitors to help reduce the infection. As of now, director Bharathiraja remains stable.”
He urged, “Some people, out of eagerness or perhaps ill intentions, are spreading false rumors. If you truly care for the veteran director, please pray for him, as it will aid in his recovery. Do not share false rumors. The family members or the hospital will provide accurate updates. Please refrain from spreading information on your own. We have met all the family members and the chief doctor to inquire about his health and have requested daily medical bulletins to prevent misinformation from circulating.”
