It's been a while since we could think of the good times.

I mean, before the Covid-19 pandemic, before the stresses of working on your laptops all the time or witnessing wars in the world, there were better times when we'd just sit and watch good Television shows from the comfort of our homes.

Remember Cartoon Network and Pogo?

Those really were the days when there'd be so many good shows to choose from, ones which would give out all good and happy vibes.

Well, one such show was Takeshi's Castle, voiced by Bollywood's own iconic actor and comedian Javed Jaaferi.

The show was a laughter fest with Jaaferi's commentary being at the heart of everything.

You'd just need to watch the crazy show and its contestants battle it out playing weird games, all with the backdrop of Jaaved's immaculate comic timing.

Those were the days!

Unfortunately, time passed, we grew up and there wasn't any Takeshi's Castle no more!

Well, till now.

Prime Video just announced a reboot for the Japanese show recently, and guess what? It looks like Jaaved himself will be returning back to host it again.

The best news I have heard today

Can't keep calm because my childhood is back

I'm gonna binge watch it for sure #TakeshisCastle #AmazonPrime pic.twitter.com/oHRIv5ASu4

While nothing is confirmed yet, Jaaved has teased his return with a special post on Twitter. 

Here! Check it out!

Hmmmm!!! Kya khayaal ?#TakeshisCastle #OnceMore pic.twitter.com/A4HiEwZ88r

What do you think? It sure looks like he's about to return.

I mean, think about it. India is a big market for TV shows, which means great eyeballs for the show.

And if Prime Video really wants to make use of Indian consumers, then they would know better that Takeshi's Castle without Javed Jaaferi will never amount to anything.

He's the soul of the entire show in India, and we think Prime Video will have talked to him regarding just that.

Hopefully, the news will bring smiles to your faces because believe it or not, this is going to be some trip down memory lane.
