SRK being replaced in Fauji 2 by Vicky Jain is a huge letdown for all SRKians! ?

The original Fauji gave us the legend we love, and no one can match that magic.
This decision is disappointing. Can anything truly replace the King? #SRK #Fauji2 pic.twitter.com/1Xhm2goLGX

Shah Rukh Khan's original Fauji aired in 1989. The show had SRK as Lt. Abhimanyu Rai, and the character became legendary in Indian TV history. With Vicky Jain, who is a non-actor, now being part of the show in the upcoming reboot, many fans are simply doubful.
Who else will be there in the show?
Other than Vicky Jain, actress Gauhar Khan is also there in one of the lead roles. There are also actors like Aashish Bhardwaj, Utkarsh Kohli, Rudra Soni, Ayaan Manchanda, Niel Satpuda in supporting characters.
Fauji 2 will be released on Doordarshan in several languages, including Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, and Gujarati. The release date for the show is still to be announced.
