Actor Akshay Kumar, who was most recently seen in a cameo appearance in Vishnu Manchu`s Kannappa, has once again found himself at the centre of social media controversy.

Notably, Kumar appeared unfazed despite the criticism.
The new clip from Kannappa has gone viral, wherein Akshay Kumar is seen in his costume of Lord Shiva, the role he plays in the film. He is seen delivering an intense monologue. However, eagle-eyed fans spotted the actor`s eyes moving from left to right as the camera moves close to his face.
