Content creator-turned-actor Bhuvan Bam has taken a significant step in protecting his creative work as he takes the step to trademark his popular BB Ki Vines character, Titu Mama. This move marks the beginning of a larger vision to create a BB Ki Vines universe, with Titu Mama at its core.
The Rise of Titu Mama
Titu Mama, known for his savage humour and distinctive style, has become a beloved character among BB Ki Vines fans. Bhuvan Bam, who started his YouTube channel in June 2015, introduced Titu Mama in his comedic sketches that depict the life of an urban teenager and his family. The character quickly gained immense popularity due to his unique personality and relatable antics.
Importance of Trademarking
Trademarking Titu Mama is a strategic move to protect the character’s identity and prevent unauthorised use. In a statement, Bhuvan Bam emphasised the necessity of trademarks in the digital age, where content can easily be plagiarised. “You never know where your content is being circulated and how people are using it. So, it’s important to get your Intellectual Property registered,” Bhuvan Bam added. The trademark ensures that Titu Mama remains a unique and cherished part of the BB Ki Vines universe.
The Success of Titu Talks
The popularity of Titu Mama was further solidified by the success of the 2018 talk show Titu Talks. In this show, Titu Mama interviewed various celebrities, including Shah Rukh Khan, Johnny Sins, Ram Charan, Jr. NTR, and S.S. Rajamouli. The overwhelming response to Titu Talks highlighted the character’s potential and reinforces Bhuvan Bam’s decision to secure the trademark. “The journey of Titu Mama has been incredible. When I first introduced him in my sketches, I had no idea he would gain such immense popularity,” Bhuvan Bam shared.
