New Delhi: Superstar Akshay Kumar tweeted a teaser for Indian alternative to the banned PUBG called Fau-G. FAU-G was the subject of much amusement when news of it first broke, especially in the backdrop of the entire PUBG fiasco.
The video is around a minute long, shows the soldiers engaged in hand-to-hand combat and reveals nothing else about the game or gameplay.
Today we celebrate the victory of good over evil, and what better day to celebrate our Fearless and United Guards, our FAU-G!

The teaser is based on a Sino-Indian clash at Galwan Valley and shows army personnel from both sides engaged in a duel in which the Indian side emerges victorious. The clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers at Galwan Valley in June resulted in a ban on multiple Chinese apps, including TikTok and PUBG, by the Indian government.
