It was on good friend Amitabh Bachchan's advice, who has been monitoring Rajinikanth's health, that the superstar flew down to Singapore for treatment.
They are competition to each other. Each is as magnanimous as the other and yet they are close friends and acquaintances. Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan go back a long way, to the 1983 hit Andhaa Kaanoon.
The two actors have been thick ever since, from sharing opinions for hours on each others' films to discussing and overseeing illnesses or issues in life. With such a flourishing relationship, when Rajinikanth was hospitalised, it was Big constantly in touch with his wife Latha and his doctors who suggested Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore for Rajini's better treatment of renal failure.
May be it's the unsatisfactory condition of Indian hospitals and also personal experience at the Singapore hospital ( Amar Singh was also admitted to the hospital for kidney transplant) that Bachchan suggested it.
Not only did he recommend the hospital but also personally spoke to the doctors there. A source close to Rajinikanth's family confirms. "Rajiniji has been diagnosed with renal failure leading to kidney complications. Rajiniji's family is indebted to Amitji for recommending the treatment in Singapore."
Big B too confirmed that he recommended Rajini a treatment from a Singapore hospital. "I've been talking to Rajini and his wife Latha on his condition and on his welfare regularly. Latha wanted to take him out and asked me to recommend a destination. Of the many options that came up, I suggested Singapore."
Speaking about his warm relationship with Rajinikanth, Bachchan says, "He's so down-to-earth! How he remains that way with the kind of fan-following, is a mystery. And his wife has been a wonderful support. She has brought up their children so well. We discuss issues with each other.
