MUMBAI: BIG 92.7 FM is currently airing an innovative on-air talent contest for Mumbai's mimicry enthusiasts called "Nakli No. 1." This first ever FM mimicry hunt, aims at those passionate about impersonating their favorite celebrities. The contest will offer them the opportunity to display their talent to the public and the best of all mimics stands to win a year long contract with BIG FM as an RJ.

Arjun Singgh Baran, Station Head 92.7 FM, Mumbai commenting on the contest said "We are excited to be hosting a show that gives us the chance to reach out so many talented individuals and discover hidden gems that have the power to entertain the public. Mimicry is something that everyone enjoys as the voice of our favourite stars is the next best thing to the actual celebrity! Also the medium of radio, works to the advantage of the participants as there is more emphasis on how they sound rather than the way they look".

He adds, "Most great comedians in India have worked their way up by impersonating their idols. I am confident that through Nakli No. 1, BIG 92.7 will discover the next BIG comedian of the country."
