The film "Zero" demanded that Shahrukh Khan who played the character of Bauua Singh needed to be vertically challenged. The actor is 5 feet 10 inches tall and he needed to appear like a 4 foot 6 inch guy. For this purpose, VFX for the 'Zero' movie was crucial. Visual effects were used to minimize the stature of the actor. For this purpose, the following steps were taken:

1. First of all, the photogrammetry scan of Shah Rukh Khan is completed. This 3D scan provided a visualization of how his minimized stature would look. These scenes were planned and executed on a set.
2. Further, a 4-foot 6-inch stand-in was used as a reference for on-set composition and camera placement Through this, it helped the team in gauging the height ratio that needs to be adjusted.
