​Rajinikanth to T Rajendar: Tamil actors who went abroad for medical treatment

Tamil cinema has given birth to several superstars over the years, including Rajinikanth. It’s no surprise that most of the Tamil stars enjoy god-like stature in Tamil Nadu, and everything about them makes headlines. Recently we saw many superstars travelling abroad for medical treatment. Though there are super specialty hospitals and some of the best medical care in India, many still prefer to go abroad. Take a look at Tamil actors who went abroad for their medical treatments.
