Superstar Rajinikanth has been discharged from the Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre on Friday and been taken to Singapore for further treatment. The actor is expected to meet specialists at the National Kidney Foundation in Singapore. The actor's ambulance was taken to the 11.15pm flight in which he was booked in the business class as a wheel-chair passenger. Senior cardiologist Dr T R Muralidharan accompanied him. The hospital and family assured fans crowding the hospital that he was responding well to treatment. The hospital restricted visitors and many VIPs, including actors and senior politicians, called on his family or spoke to them on phone. On Friday, a release from the hospital said Rajinikanth had responded well to treatment and the lab parameters had improved. "He is cheerful, taking his food himself, ambulant, spending time with family. He has scheduled his trip abroad for a change and relaxation and incidentally to go in for selective checkups," the hospital bulletin said.
