Takeshi’s Castle – A Trip Down Memory Lane
Takeshi’s Castle is a name etched in the memories of countless Indians who grew up watching the hilarious antics of contestants as they navigated crazy challenges in the hopes of winning the coveted one million yen prize. Originally aired in the 80s, the show was introduced to the Indian audience with Hindi narration by Jaaved Jaffrey almost two decades ago.

Bhuvan Bam, the man behind the incredibly popular Titu Mama character, is known for his impeccable comic timing and relatable humour.

Now, Bhuvan is all set to lend his voice to the Hindi reboot of Takeshi’s Castle.
In the promotional video released by Prime Video, we see Titu Mama going about his daily job as a shoe salesman, humorously calling himself a “shoe-stopper.” However, his world takes a hilarious turn when the notorious Yakuza gang kidnaps him unceremoniously.
