YAMA BREAKS INTO BOLLYWOOD! ( 2012)
"YAMA" (pro sumo fighting name "Yamamotoyama") broke into Bollywood, with a special New Year's appearance on the hit Indian TV show “Bigg Boss”. This show is based on “Big Brother”, but with celebrity housemates.
Even with limited English vocabulary and no knowledge of Hindi, Yama quickly became friends with the Final Five contestants, and endeared himself to them all. Yama's quick grasp of Indian culture and Hindi language was amazing to watch during his short time in the Bigg Boss house.
Yama also is soon starring in the exciting series of TNA Wrestling, which has taken India by storm on the country's biggest channel. See Yama in action with wrestling legends. For Yama, it's big-time!
Look for Yama to appear on more big TV shows in India in the near future!! At 600 pounds, he could well be the biggest Bollywood star ever!! video>>
