Earlier in 2016, it was in the rumours that Robot 2.0 was initially scheduled for release during Diwali sometime in October 2017. In April 2017, Raju Mahalingam, who is one of the producers on this film, announced that the film’s release got postponed in 2018 to incorporate greater visual effects in certain scenes.

Robot 2.0 contains around 1,000 VFX shots which got delayed numerous times while the post-production editing was being completed by numerous CGI studios.

Initially, in 2018, it was also rumoured that the production house has put out the teaser to keep the audience engaged as a lot of CGI editing was still left. But now we have a final date of release so there is nothing to worry.

What kinds of techniques got included in the visual effects of this movie?

Visual effects specialists John Hughes and V. Srinivas Mohan were some of the top names how worked together in the film. Obviously, there were more than just companies which the studios had hired to complete their CGI work. Legacy Effects was taking care of animatronics work, and Mary E. Vogt was responsible for designing the special costumes.

All visual effects training institutes are rambling about teaching their students to follow this film’s VFX techniques as a learning guideline. Once you keenly watch the making of the movie, the same will strike to your head too. It is an extraordinary piece of artistic creation. Critics have already assured that this is going to be the highest grossing Bollywood film of all time. Finally, someone is here to break the Dangal and Baahubali records.

An interesting incident

While shooting at the location, the one of the main visual effects designer, Srinivas Mohan virtually converted a green screen sequence into locations including the Red Fort and the Parliament from Delhi after the team was unable to secure shooting permission there. So, that was a small piece of info not everyone knows about.
