Kannada actor Shivarajkumar or Shivanna, as he is popularly called, was rushed to Vital Mallya Hospital in Bengaluru after reportedly complaining of chest pain on Tuesday morning.
Local media reports say that the actor had a minor heart attack. It is reported he underwent an angiogram where it was determined he had some blocks in the artery which caused the chest pain.
His older brother Raghavedra Rajkumar has stated Shivanna is out of danger and people should stop spreading rumours about his health. Shivarajakumar will remain in the hospital for another few days and will be discharged once he is 100% OK. He is likely to have an angioplasty or open heart surgery to remove the blocks.
The news that Shivarajkumar had been admitted to hospital started rumours to spread about his health. He was reportedly in the gym when he complained of chest pain and collapsed.
