Akshay Kumar is receiving some intense scrutiny on social media for allegedly using teleprompters for his recent cameo in a Telugu film.
A fan-shared video showing Akshay Kumar’s eyes seemingly following a teleprompter has sparked debate online, with many questioning the changing dynamics of his recent performances.
Many social media users didn’t hold back from labelling him as “Teleprompter Kumar” in an attempt to shame Akshay.
Some posts even suggested it is due to this practice that Akshay is able to complete his films in as little as 40 days, which further results in the lack of depth in his overall performances.
Another user recalled Akshay’s illustrious past, when he was considered one of the most passionate and talented actors of his generation, but now even he seems to be compromising quality for quantity.
On the other hand, Akshay’s fans were offended that people started pointing out his lack of effort in acting. Many even accused the person who shared this detail of spreading fake propaganda against Akshay.
One user even defended Akshay using the teleprompter, claiming that at least his performance was noteworthy out of all the other actors in the film.
This discussion has raised bigger questions around how actors today approach their job. While the back-to-back films might be entertaining, the lack of substance in these projects is also evident.
Audiences have suggested time and again that taking a break is a good thing; it’s also possible that the audience will engage much better if the performances feel honest and lived in.
