Kanpur: Ram Shankar Dixit, a resident of Kanpur, can produce the sounds of 172 different kinds of animals, birds, human beings and machines.

This ability of his stood him in good stead when he lost his job at a factory as he began participating in various functions to exhibit his skill and entertain people.

“My aspirations can be fulfilled only when I get some financial help. I want to bring out a cassette, which will contain the voices of different animals. This will help children in learning,” He said.

“If I get a chance in films and thereby earn some money to take care of my family then I will be able to also work for my career,” he added.

Added Hiralal Dixit, Ramshankar’s brother: “He can make strange sounds of animals. He is a talented artist.”
