Actor Vikram was admitted to Kauvery Hospital in Chennai on Friday after he complained of chest discomfort.

According to a hospital bulletin he was evaluated by a team of specialists and is stable. He would be discharged soon from the hospital, the bulletin signed by Aravindan Selvaraj, hospital co-founder and executive director, said.

The bulletin stated: “Popular Tamil actor Mr. Vikram has been admitted in Kauvery Hospital with complaints of chest discomfort. He was evaluated and treated by a team of specialist doctors. He did not have cardiac arrest, is currently clinically stable, and will be discharged from the hospital soon.”

Earlier in the day the actor’s manager Suryanarayanan M. had tweeted: “Chiyaan Vikram had mild chest discomfort and is being treated for the same. He DID NOT have a heart attack as reports falsely claim.”
