Produced by Sandeep Singh and aired on Doordarshan, the series has struck a patriotic nerve with Indian households, blending nostalgia with a fresh, contemporary edge.
Reviving the beloved 1989 series, 'Fauji 2' features Vikas Jain and Gauahar Khan, promising a fresh narrative and modern storytelling.
Khan has a massive fan following across the globe, so much so, that his popular films are screened in the local languages of the country they are released in.
Singh accompanied Jakhar as he filed his nomination papers from Gurdaspur.
Colonel Raj Kapoor is also fondly remembered by some as the "ketchup" man for popularising the 1985 Volfarm tomato ketchup ad with his "ketchup hota kaddu bhara" dialogue.
Kapoor was cremated in New Delhi on Thursday.
