Ajith Kumar underwent medical procedure to treat nerve swelling, confirms publicist; dismisses brain surgery rumours

According to the report, he is doing well and is expected to be discharged from the hospital, either on Friday night or Saturday.

“On Thursday, Ajith sir got admitted to a hospital for a general examination. Then, the doctors there decided to treat an undue swelling in the nerve connecting his ear to the brain. They did it through a simple medical procedure. Ajith is now fine and he walked back to his ward from the ICU,” Chandra told Zoom.

“I repeat the fact that he walked back to his ward because he is perfectly fine and that he is likely to be discharged either tonight or tomorrow,” he added, as rumours were rife that a cyst was removed from the actor’s brain through surgery.

‘Ajith saddened by demise of art director Milan’

Chandra also mentioned that Ajith was deeply saddened by the sudden demise of art director Milan, who passed away while shooting in Azerbaijan. Milan had previously collaborated with Thala on blockbuster films such as Thunivu, Viswasam, Vivegam, Vedalam, Veeram and Billa.

“Ajith had recently spoken to Milan and they were supposed to meet up in the next half an hour. However, Ajith was shocked to know that Milan had passed away. That shattered him and he has now begun to take health checkups more seriously,” Suresh Chandra added.

Ajith is currently working on Magizh Thirumeni’s action thriller Vidaa Muyarchi, which also stars Arjun Sarja, Trisha, Regina Cassandra and Arav.
