Superstar Rajinikanth will be flying to Singapore Friday night for further treatment,.

They said Rajini has been booked as a ‘wheelchair passenger’ on a Singapore Airlines flight and is travelling in his passport name Shivaji Rao. Some members of his family — perhaps wife Latha and daughter Aishwarya — are accompanying him.

Arrangements are being made to transport the 61year-old actor discreetly to the Chennai International airport on Friday. The family is trying to get permission for Rajini's ambulance to be driven right up to the tarmac, the source added.

Rajinikanth's wife Latha, and his daughter Aishwarya were not reachable for a confirmation, as they were in discussion with the doctors at Sri Ramachandra hospital until late on Thursday night. While doctors at the hospital have been maintaining that Raji ni is recovering well, and is cheerful, his travelling abroad for further treatment and rest has been on the cards for sometime now.

Rajini was admitted to Sri Ramachandra Hospital on May 13, with complaints of gastroenteritis and pneumonia. The star’s fans had raised the alarm when he was shifted to the ICU for close monitoring on May 18. Doctors removed excess fluid from his chest, and also put him on temporary dialysis to improve his kidney function.
