It's not just a reboot but a loving tribute to the original show, complete with references to the seasoned commentator and fan-favorite, Javed Jaffrey.

Commenting on his involvement in the reboot, Bhuvan Bam shared his excitement, saying, “Takeshi’s Castle has been an integral part of my formative years, and the commentary by Javed sir is etched as a core memory that still cracks me up every time I think of it. So, when I was presented with the opportunity to be a part of its reboot, my excitement was boundless." He further explained his choice of character, adding, "I decided that Titu Mama from BB Ki Vines, with his desi accent, uncle-next-door personality, and unique perspectives, would be the perfect fit to provide commentary to this show’s reboot."
