Superstar Chiranjeevi’s latest Instagram entry put him on the top of Wednesday’s list of trends.

Well, turns out that the actor never really shaved his head and that his “urban monk” look was a result of make-up and the “magic of cinema.” On Tuesday, the actor posted a video from his dressing room, which showcased his drastically different hair transformation. He captioned the video: “Thanks to all the technicians of the industry who can make any look believable. Salute the magic of cinema.”
