Watch: How Rajinikanth achieved his 2.0 looks, from Dr Vaseegaran to Chitti, in Shankar's film

A new promotional video goes behind-the-scenes on how Rajinikanth's different looks in 2.0 were achieved. As Dr Vaseegaran, the actor sports a beard, glasses and a different hairdo compared to his look as the robot Chitti. He also wears an armoured super hero suit of sorts as Chitti.

The clip shows Rajinikanth in a make-up chair as technicians create a muold of his head as well as a 3D computer figure of him which was used as reference. Producer Karan Johar shared the video on social media, writing that the film's team "aims for perfection and nothing else."
