Soon after being admitted to the Apollo Hospital in Chennai after he complained of chest pain, Ilayaraja was diagnosed of mild heart attack. The doctors immediately performed angiogram on him after the first aid and he is now recovering.

Sources say that the maestro is in the intensive care unit now and the doctors are just ensuring that his heart is functioning as it should. After the angiogram was done, Ilayaraja is completely fine and would be retuning back to work after a few days’ rest, say sources.
