The show is expected to retain the essence of the original series, with contestants facing swashbuckling adventures, challenging games, and humorous commentary. Bhuvan Bam will incorporate one of his popular characters, 'Titu Mama' from 'BB Ki Vines,' to add elements of fun and laughter.

In Takeshi's Castle, over 100 contestants known as the 'attacking army' attempt to conquer the formidable castle, encountering various guards, devils, and giant foam mushrooms along the way. Only the bravest and luckiest contestants will have the opportunity to challenge Takeshi himself and potentially win 1 million yen.

Takeshi's Castle, with its hilarious commentary, was a big hit in its Hindi version, originally voiced by Jaaved Jaaferi. While the news of the reboot has excited many fans, some have expressed nostalgia for Jaaved Jaaferi's iconic commentary.
