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!
