Mangalore, Aug 30: Well-known theatre personality Devadas Kapikad, taking part in Radio Big FM Mangalore as a celebrity RJ, attempted to create a record of sorts, by going on air for a marathon 24 hours and succeeded.
Kapikad started this rare feat at the BIG FM office in Bharath Mall in the city at 11 am on Tuesday August 26 and successfully remained on air for 24 hours at a stretch, by concluding his role as a celebrity RJ at 11 am the next day. Many local dignitaries were present at the start of this marathon event to extend him moral support.
During the course of the programme, listeners and well-wishers poured into the BIG FM office regularly with food and gifts to support the local hero and get thrilled at his achievement. Kapikad stood his ground all through the grueling assignment and completed the feat without any hitch.
