Indian network 92.7 Big FM has launched a musical game show titled ‘Big Antakshari’ with singer Kanika Kapoor. 

The show will start airing from September 19 across all 45 stations of the network in the country.

Antakshari is a popular spoken parlour game across the subcontinent where each contestant sings the first verse of a movie song that begins with the Hindustani consonant on which the previous contestant’s song selection ended.

The station says it has replicated the game into a radio format by adding various new elements and contests.

A spokesperson from the network said: “We have kept the essence of the original Antakshari intact and tried to add a tinge of modernity into it.”  

Kanika Kapoor said, “It has been my favorite game since childhood. I remember playing it during my school days with friends, family and cousins. There are many more memories associated with it. Really look forward to this iconic musical radio game show.”
