In his 2016 film FAN, Shah Rukh Khan became one of the first well-known celebrities to employ de-aging technology. This method, which artificially shortens an actor's perceived age, was rather popular at the time and was quite good. De-aging has now gained popularity as a technique in cinema, and it can be seen in films such as Acharya, Dunki, kalki 2898 AD, and The GOAT. Nonetheless, the responses haven't always been kind.
 
On social media sites like facebook and X, Vijay's usage of de-aging in The GOAT in particular has drawn a lot of criticism and ridicule. Many believe that Vijay looked uncomfortable and fake as a result of the de-aging effect rather than attaining a young appearance. For certain performers, de-aging has proven to be a substantial advantage despite these objections. For instance, Rajinikanth has profited immensely from this technique. He is utilizing this technology to its fullest.
 
As shown in his most recent film, Vettaiyan, he seems rather elderly, frail, and feeble in real life, but the de-aging process has made it possible for him to project a more attractive and captivating picture on screen. De-aging has been a huge benefit for Rajinikanth, as it improves his on-screen persona while deceptively concealing his actual age.
