Acclaimed music composer and Oscar winner AR Rahman was hospitalized in the early hours of Sunday after experiencing chest and neck pain. The 58-year-old musician was immediately rushed to Apollo Hospitals in Chennai by his family members.

Doctors attending to Rahman conducted a series of medical tests and are considering an angiogram as a precautionary measure. However, sources close to the musician assure that there is no major cause for concern, and he is expected to be discharged soon. The hospital is expected to release an official bulletin regarding his health status shortly.

Rahman, who recently returned from an overseas trip, has received an outpouring of well-wishes from fans and colleagues across the global film and music industries. Many have taken to social media to express their support and prayers for his speedy recovery.

This development comes months after Rahman’s estranged wife, Saira Banu, underwent surgery. The couple, who announced their separation in November last year after 29 years of marriage, continue to maintain an amicable relationship. Speculations about a possible reconciliation emerged recently when Saira publicly thanked Rahman for his support during her treatment.

On the professional front, Rahman’s latest albums for the historical biopic Chhaava and the Tamil film Kadhalikka Neramillai have received widespread critical acclaim. He is also working on upcoming projects, including Ram Charan’s RC16 and Mani Ratnam-Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life.

Fans and the industry await further updates on his health, hoping for his swift recovery and return to his musical endeavors.
