Bhuvan Bam's 'Titu Mama' joins 'Takeshi’s Castle' Indian reboot for a laughter riot

Prime Video today announced the Indian reboot of the popular 80s Japanese game show, Takeshi’s Castle, with actor and content creator BhuvanBam taking on a new role of a commentator. The eight episodes series will stream exclusively for viewers on Prime Video India. The brand-new season will retain the eccentricities that people saw in the original version - swashbuckling adventures, fun set-ups, challenging games coupled with hilarious commentary. As contestants travel from one terrifying escapade to another, Bhuvan Bam will be providing a uniquely Indian perspective and add elements of fun and laughter as one of his most-loved characters – ‘Titu Mama’ from BB Ki Vines. 

 Recapturing the essence of the original series, viewers will get towatch over 100 contestants the “attacking army” attempt to storm the impenetrable castle, fighting off all kinds of guards, devils, and giant foam mushrooms along the way. Only the bravest and luckiest will make it through to take on Takeshihimself, and potentially bank 1 million yen.
