Overview
editThe show is hosted by well-known impersonator Navin Prabhakar, who first shot to fame from his celebrated appearances in the show The Great Indian Laughter Challenge (season one).[1] Prabhakar mimics different celebrities in different episodes. He has mimicked well-known actors Jeetendra, Pran, Johnny Walker, Kamal Hasan, Sunil Dutt, and several others. His own performance is inarguably one of the best mimicries in the entire show. The show is innovative as the first a mimicry contest on Indian TV.
The show is judged by Chunky Pandey and Suresh Menon.[2]
The name of the show is a take on the catchphrase Pehchan Kaun (translation: Guess Who?) first popularized by Navin Prabhakar in his appearances in The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. After several dialogues of Sholay entered into the psyche and mannerisms of Indians, this is perhaps the first catchphrase to do so.
