Mani Ratnam fit, visited hospital for routine check-up

Ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam visited a private hospital in New Delhi on Tuesday for a master health check-up and contrary to rumours, he was not hospitalised due to heart problems.

“Mani and his wife were holidaying in Delhi. A master health check-up was long overdue. He got it in done in a hospital in Delhi to avoid the Chennai public eye,” Mala Manyan, executive producer of Mani Ratnam’s latest release Ok Kanmani, said on Wednesday.

Ratnam suffered minor heart attacks in 2004 and 2009, while working on films Yuva and Raavan.

In his over two-decade long career, he is known for successful films such as Nayagana, Mounaragam, Dil Se, Bombay and Guru.
