Akshay Kumar 'Used Teleprompter' To Read Lines In Kannappa? Viral Video Sparks Backlash
Last Updated: Akshay Kumar is facing backlash again after fans accused him of using a teleprompter in Kannappa. They say he no longer memorises his lines. Akshay Kumar has sparked yet another controversy after a video clip from his upcoming film Kannappa surfaced online, showing the actor portraying Lord Shiva. While the monologue in the scene was meant to be powerful and divine, what caught fans' attention instead was Akshay's eye movement, shifting side to side in a way many claimed looked like he was reading from a teleprompter. This isn't the first time Akshay has been accused of using a teleprompter for dialogue delivery. Earlier this year, during promotions of Sarfira, similar claims surfaced when a clip showed him appearing to glance off-screen repeatedly. Although Akshay never publicly addressed those claims, the backlash was significant. Now, with the Kannappa clip going viral, criticism has erupted once again. Teleprompter Kumar , Akshay Kumar Using Teleprompter to Read the dialogue 🤡. 40 din mein movie aise hi complete hoti hai🤡 — 🇮🇳 (@ThunderPost_) July 9, 2025 Kannappa, directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced by Vishnu Manchu, is a Telugu mythological film based on the legendary devotee of Lord Shiva. Alongside Akshay Kumar, the film also stars Prabhas, Mohanlal, and Kajal Aggarwal. The movie has been filmed across the scenic landscapes of New Zealand, promising grandeur, spiritual depth, and intense performances. While the story of Kannappa continues to intrigue fans, Akshay's acting choices are drawing mixed reactions. Many online users argue that delivering divine or mythological roles requires more depth and commitment, and reading from a screen dampens the emotional gravity of such scenes. Still, others defend the actor, citing his packed schedule and incredible work ethic over the decades. Whether the teleprompter claims are true or not, the incident has sparked a heated debate online. view comments First Published: July 10, 2025, 01:23 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
