Filmmaker Sandeep Singh announced on Tuesday (Oct 15) that the 1989 show Fauji , which made Shah Rukh Khan a household name before his debut in films, will return to television as Fauji 2 , starring Vikas Jain and Gauahar Khan. However, a report by India Today claims that Pulkit Samrat was also supposed to be a part of the upcoming series and was initially in talks to play Shah Rukh Khan’s son. The report claims that even before Sandeep Singh was in the picture, the Fauji sequel was being produced by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment. Shah Rukh had planned to reprise Lt. Abhimanyu Rai, with Pulkit Samrat playing his son. Roopal Tyagi, best known for TV shows like Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke and Humari Betiyoon Ka Vivah , was also signed as the female lead. However, even though Pulkit and Shah Rukh shot for it briefly, the show never took off. “Just imagine, a guy from Delhi, who has come to Mumbai following SRK’s footsteps gets a chance to play his on-screen son in a show produced by Red Chillies! I was lucky enough to shoot with him, and he was extremely kind, extremely humble. He shared his trade secrets with me. He taught me how to own a set and how to use the space around you as an actor. His kind words and his warmth still stay with me. Sadly, the show never took off,” Pulkit told India Today.
