Chitti (played by Rajnikanth) is a humanoid robot created by Dr. Vaseegaran, (also played by Rajinikanth). Dr Vaseegaran, who is specialized in robotics, created Chitti after a decade of unsuccessful attempts and intensive research. Vaseegaran makes Chitti an exact look-alike of himself. The robot is named Chitti, as suggested by Vaseegaran's mother.
Vaseegaran made Chitti interact with people outside the lab to socialize him with the outside world and saw how he used his intellects and abilities amongst humans. In order for the robot to understand human behavior, Vaseegaran taught the robot about emotions and upgraded the software to give it the ability to comprehend and exhibit human emotions. But then the robot fell in love with the scientist's girlfriend, Sana (played by Aishwarya Rai) and thus it caused conflict between them. Angered by the robot, Vaseegaran literally chopped the robot into pieces. He was found by Dr. Bohra (played by Danny Denzongpa) and upgraded into 2.0 because of a red chip. He converts Chitti into a ruthless killer and then Chitti turned into a destructive killing machine and killed Bohra. He then went after Vaseegaran and Sana and crashed their wedding. He showed numerous other powerful abilities including shapeshifting as well as duplicating. However, Vaseegaran managed to defeat and stop Chitti. Since he caused so much damage and destruction to the city, he was de-activated and dismantled. His body parts were then displayed in the museum in the year 2030 as the most advanced humanoid robot ever built.
Chitti reappeared in the film Ra.One in a special non-canon appearance. Rajinikanth did not play Chitti in the film rather the character was computer generated and his look as Chitti was digitally recreated and was used in the film.
Chitti is forced to be reassembled by Dr. Vaseegaran and the Indian Army in order to stop the antagonist, Fifth force, which is controlled by Pakshi Rajan, an ornithologist (played by Akshay Kumar) turned into a vengeful spirit. But Chitti is defeated and destroyed in his original form by the antagonist, which leads his CPU head to be rebooted in another advanced mechanical body, identifying himself as Chitti reloaded version '2.0', and will also fall in love with his female counterpart, the super-android Nila (played by Amy Jackson), also created by Vaseegaran. Alongside Chitti, there is another robot created known as "Kutty" (3.0), which is a microbot capable of shape-shifting.
