The accusations come months after a similar moment from his film Sarfira went viral. Back then, viewers claimed to have caught him glancing at a teleprompter and reading his dialogue. Notably, Kumar appeared unfazed despite the criticism.

This has led to netizens claiming that he was allegedly reading lines from a teleprompter that's placed off-camera. Some users even claimed to see a white reflection in his eyes.
Netizens react
The video quickly went viral online and reignited conversations around the actor's habit of opting to read his lines rather than learn them. Fans and critics on social media expressed their disappointment over the actor's behaviour. One user wrote, "And then he brags that he needs just one day to prep for a character! He doesn't prep-he just reads off a screen. No wonder it shows in his performances."his is unacceptable, especially when he's charging Rs 100 crore per film plus profit share. The least he can do is learn his lines," while a third user questioned, "Why are filmmakers even okay with this?"
Interestingly, despite the allegations, the actor has remained unfazed by the criticisms as he continues with his multiple film projects. Apart from his cameo in Kannapaa, he was last seen in Housefull 5, which received an average reception at the box office. Meanwhile, he will next be seen in Hera Pheri 3 with Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty.
