The classic 1989 television series Fauji, which marked the debut of Shah Rukh Khan, is making a comeback in a new avatar. Producer Sandeep Singh has teamed up with India’s national broadcaster, Doordarshan, to bring Fauji 2, a revamped and modernized version of the original series.
Fauji 2 will feature a fresh cast, headlined by Vicky Jain and Gauahar Khan, with twelve new actors joining the team.

The ensemble cast promises to bring fresh energy to the much-loved series.
In a musical highlight, Sonu Nigam lends his voice to the title track of Fauji 2. The show will feature eleven songs, with music composed by Shreyas Puranik, adding a unique element to the new version.
Sandeep Singh not only serves as the producer but is also joined by co-producers Vicky Jain and Zafar Mehdi. The show is directed by Abhinav Pareek, known for his work on Sab Moh Maaya Hai and A Wedding Story. Nishant Chandrashekhar has also contributed as a director. Sameer Hallim leads the creative team, ensuring the essence of the original series is maintained while updating it for a contemporary audience.
Fauji 2 is set to air on Doordarshan and will be broadcast in six languages: Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Punjabi, and Bengali, making it accessible to a wider audience. The return of Fauji in this new format is expected to stir nostalgia while introducing the story to a new generation of viewers.
