A video featuring Akshay Kumar from his latest film Sarfira, the Hindi remake of the Tamil hit Soorarai Pottru, has sparked a heated debate online. The film, which released in July 2024 and is now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, has faced criticism for failing to match the emotional depth of the original. But what’s grabbing more attention is the claim that Akshay Kumar caught using a teleprompter during an emotional scene in the movie.
The viral video which is originally shared by YouTuber Anurag Salgaonkar, shows Akshay Kumar caught delivering lines during an intense moment. The YouTuber speculated that the actor might have been reading lines from a teleprompter, highlighting how Akshay’s eyes didn’t seem focused on his co-actor, a crucial aspect of performing emotional scenes. Salgaonkar humorously referred to him as a “teleprompter actor” and captioned the video – “Hilarious observation. Good movie though
.”
Mixed Reactions Pour In From Fans
The video quickly caught fire on social media, drawing mixed reactions from fans and critics. On Instagram one user quipped, “Hahahaha. That’s Akshay Kumar in almost all his films. Saal mein 4 films karega toh aisa hi hoga (If he does four films a year, this is bound to happen).” Another user pointed out, “Nice observation! He himself has revealed that he does this btw. Nothing wrong, but it’s about connecting with the audience!”

The video also made its way to Reddit, where opinions were just as divided. One Redditor commented, “Must give it to Akshay that if you don’t observe so carefully, it isn’t that obvious. He’s mastered faking it.” Others however defended him saying, “Tbh, I couldn’t tell even after watching it twice.” Another remarked, “These influencers will say anything for content. It doesn’t even look like he’s reading from a teleprompter!”
Despite being helmed by acclaimed director Sudha Kongara and adapted from a National Award-winning film, Sarfira failed to resonate with the audience at the box office. While Suriya’s portrayal in Soorarai Pottru earned him the National Award for Best Actor, Akshay’s attempt to recreate the magic was met with lukewarm reception.
Whether Akshay Kumar truly relied on a teleprompter or not, the debate has stirred curiosity about his approach to acting in Sarfira. While some see it as a sign of efficiency, others view it as a compromise on artistry.
