The Oscar-winning composer sought medical attention after returning from London, with doctors attributing his condition to dehydration and fasting during Ramzan.

  • AR Rahman was admitted to Apollo Hospital in Chennai after experiencing chest pain and discomfort late Saturday night.
  • Doctors have identified dehydration, worsened by fasting for Ramzan, as the primary cause of his condition.
  • The musician underwent several tests, including ECG and echocardiogram, and is reported to be stable and recovering well.
