400 odd wannabe veejays from all over the city and suburbs
converged at Mikanos for live auditions arranged by MTV on
10 May.
 The
Third MTV VJ Hunt, launched in Mumbai over a month ago, went
into overdrive on 8, 9 and 10 May when the MTV VJ Hunter,
the channel's latest mascot, went on the prowl looking for
potential veejay talent. From local hangouts to the hippest
clubs (Fluid, Fire N Ice, Copa Cabana among them), the hunter
in yellow marked his presence among Generation Next.
The hunt culminated at the audition
at the centrally located nightclub on Friday night. Among
those who tried their luck were hopefuls from as far as Indore
and Chennai.
The auditions, in true MTV ishytyle, were whacky, with wannabe
VJs asked to imitate Laooo Prasad Yadav and MTV VJs, among
others. The hunt was followed by a late evening bash at Mikanos.
Celeb MTV VJs Cyrus Broacha and Mini Mathur were the hosts
for the evening. Four of the hopefuls were called on stage
to perform. None, however, had the chutpzah of 'Cyrus the
virus' or the charm of a Maliaka or a Mini.
Cyrus and Mini were both in form, regaling the audience, while
pop diva  Sophiya
enthralled with her performance. Remo Fernandes, as only he
can, had everybody swaying and dancing to his Goan folk songs.
DJ Nasha took over around 12 midnight.
Earlier VJ hunts discovered MTV VJs Maria, Nikhil, Amrita,
Mini, Cyrus Sahukar and Asif.
