Top actor Rajinikanth and a host of others have appealed to fans and the general public to join a mass prayer scheduled to be held at 6 pm on Thursday to pray for the speedy recovery of veteran playback singer S P Balasubrahmanyam. As the 74-year old star singer battles COVID-19 at a hospital here with the support of ventilator and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support (ECMO), a heart-lung assistance machine, Rajinikanth said: '...let us pray together for SPB's recovery from 6 to 6.05 pm." The top star hailed the singer as "Padum Nila," which means a 'singing moon,' a pointer to Balasubrahmanyam's cool, captivating voice and urged his fans and people to join the prayer.source https://www.indiatvnews.com/entertainment/celebrities/getwellsoonspbsir-rajinikanth-celebs-ask-people-join-sp-balasubrahmanyam-evening-prayer-643528
