Fauji
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fauji (1988) was enormously popular TV series about the daily life of an Indian Army regiment. The character played by Shah Rukh Khan (Abhimanyu Rai) gained instant popularity due to its charm, peppiness and the exuberance with which Khan essayed the role. The success paved way for Shah Rukh's next series (Circus) and his foray into filmdom.
Shah Rukh Khan remains one of the very few actors in Indian television history to have made a successful jump into the movie industry. He has emerged as one of the most successful actor/star of the Hindi film industry over the last two decades and continues to be one of the biggest box-office draws.
