Rapid shooting schedules of Akshay Kumar have caused discontent among Bollywood directors who claim his efficiency compromises artistic depth. An unidentified director told The Philox on March 26, 2025, that Kumar often films several projects in a day, therefore restricting character immersion. Examples of this are his hurried Sky Force aerial sequence and dependence on a teleprompter in Singham Again. Though there are issues, Kumar’s movies continue to be box office successes, which forces directors to adjust. Though his commercial success maintains him in great demand, a Philox poll revealed 15 of 20 directors feel his haste compromises quality.
