For an actor who has brilliant levels of fitness with a martial arts background, the action sequences were no big deal. It was, in fact, the makeup and the process of applying and removing it day in and day out that really affected him. Taking to Instagram, Akshay shared a picture of himself in his '2.0' avatar, as the villain who is now being called as crow man. With heavy makeup on his face, red lenses on his eyes and feathers covering him from head to toe, the actor looks almost unrecognisable in this avatar.

Just from the picture itself, it is clear that such level of detail and effects would have taken hours to achieve. Well, the actor thinks so too, for he captioned the click as, "For an actor who never puts makeup, '2.0' was a different story altogether. To get this look right, I think I must’ve taken longer than the female lead.#2Point0". Not just in the film, Akshay also dazzled his fans at the trailer launch as he made an attempt to speak in Tamil thanking his co-stars and director Shankar.
