Actor and YouTube star Bhuvan Bam, who has recently registered a trademark for his character Titu Mama, said he is in complete awe at how a character born in his living room has gone on to attain cult status, resonating with so many people on so many levels.
When Bhuvan first launched Titu Mama in his sketches, he never imagined the remarkable following that the character would generate among viewers.
Bhuvan stated, “Titu Mama’s distinctive traits and charisma have resonated deeply with audiences, and witnessing the affection and admiration for him is truly heartening. To create a fictional character and see it find such longevity in the public space is truly the reason to keep this character going even today. I didn’t imagine a fictional character I made out of my home creating videos would today become so popular, and hence the idea to trademark it.”
In 2018, Bhuvan and his team expanded Titu Mama’s influence with ‘Titu Talks’, featuring prominent guests like Shah Rukh Khan, Johnny Sins, Ram Charan, Junior NTR, and S.S. Rajamouli. The enthusiastic response to Titu Talks highlighted the character’s sustained popularity and potential.
He also remarked, “To safeguard and uphold this creative asset, we chose to officially register Titu Mama with Intellectual Property India, ensuring his status as a cherished and distinctive figure in our creative realm.”
“Didn’t imagine a character I played out of my living room would become such a phenomenon, that it still resonates, lives, and entertains. The character has now become so distinctly popular that we are always encouraged to bring it back in new and innovative formats and ways,” he added.
