Mimicking Amitabh Bachchan gave me recognition – Raju Srivastav

Mumbai, Comedian Raju Srivastav here Wednesday revealed that his ability to mimic megastar Amitabh Bachchan gave him his initial recognition.

“When I came to Mumbai, most people used to entertain the audience imitating Dev Anand, Raj Kumar and Shatrughan Sinha. No one used to do any mimicry of Amitabh Bachchan. After me Sudesh Bhonsle started doing it. It was almost at the same time. But he could only speak in that voice but I could speak, dance, cry and laugh, all in Bachchan style. This helped me gain initial recognition here,” Raju Srivastav told reporters at a conference organised by 92.7 Big FM, for whom he has donned the role of an RJ.
