I am humbled and grateful that my mimicry performance from a promotional event went viral on YouTube, reaching over 2.2 million views on TV9 Kannada. Your support means everything to me and pushes me to work harder.
Receiving the 'Karnataka Kala Ratna' award was a truly proud moment for me. It was an honor to be recognized by ex-judge of Bengaluru High Court, Arali Nagaraj Sir, and it motivates me to continue representing North Karnataka talent.

About Live Entertainment & Hosting

My Sandalwood Mimicry

Cinema is in my blood. Since I was a kid in Hubballi, I’ve been obsessed with Sandalwood stars. I do Sandalwood mimicry shows, slipping into the voices and style of more than 20 Kannada actors. From Dr. Rajkumar and Shankar Nag to D Boss and Daali Dhananjay, I try to bring out the best of both the old and new. Even performed for Darshan sir, and appeared on TV channels like Colors Kannada and Udaya TV.

Comedy & Acting

I mix in Kannada comedy stage acts with my own North Karnataka touch. My skits aren’t just about laughs - I try to keep them real, with local dialect and characters you’ll recognize. Whether it’s a small gathering or a big function, I love making the audience smile.

Event Anchoring

If you need someone to keep things lively, I also handle event anchoring in Karnataka. I’ve hosted everything from film promos to award nights. My main aim - keep the crowd happy and the energy strong, no matter who’s in the audience.

What Drives Me

I’m a Hubli huduga, proud of where I come from. Won a few awards, but honestly, your cheers matter most. Nimma preeti mattu support beku (I need your love and support). North Karnataka talent deserves a stage - and I’m just getting started.

My Story

Namaskara! Naanu Arun Hallikeri, Hubli huduga. Krishna vande jagadguru antha heloke tumba ishta (I love to say 'I bow to Krishna, guru of the world'). From childhood, I had huchchu for acting, listening to Dheerendra Gopal sir, Shankar Nag sir’s voices nonstop. One day, I thought, 'Naa yaake maadabardu?' and started my mimicry journey. I’ve acted, directed, even reached film festivals. Colors Kannada shows, short films, all thanks to amma-appa’s support. Dayavittu, nimma preeti, support heege irali!

My Work

Mimicry & Voice-over - I mimic over 20 legendary Kannada actors and even do animal and bird voices for fun.

Live Event Performer - I perform at stage shows, college events, and TV comedy skits, always full of energy and connecting with the crowd.

Actor & Director - Acted in TV shows, directed short films, and represented North Karnataka talent in cinema and festivals.

Special for North Karnataka - As a Hubli boy, I’m always looking for chances on Zee Kannada, Udaya TV, and more. Dayavittu belasi, harisi.
