A source close to Rajinikanth's family confirms. Not only did he recommend the hospital but also personally spoke to the doctors there. May be it's the unsatisfactory condition of Indian hospitals and also personal experience at the Singapore hospital ( Amar Singh was also admitted to the hospital for kidney transplant) that Bachchan suggested it. With such a flourishing relationship, when Rajinikanth was hospitalised, it was Big B constantly in touch with his wife Latha and his doctors who suggested Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore for Rajini's better treatment of renal failure.

Another stalwart leaves us, and this massive and imposing Film Industry edifice, tottering by the removal of the giant pillars that held it up, suffers another deathly blow.
