Differences Between The Novel and The Film
Dr. Chandra is played by Bob Balaban in the film 2010. The film version of the novel drops his Indian heritage and changes his institutional affiliation to the University of Chicago but retains his emotional ties with HAL. Balaban's performance is mostly cold and unemotional, as in the novel, although Chandra's more abrasive character traits are not explored.
