The story follows a new set of recruits as they begin their training to become commandos in the Indian Army. If you see the Maroon Beret and parachute ignisia on their Training commander Maj K.G. Naraynan the best guess is it's about the Indian Army Para SF training. The series shows the daily struggles of the recruits including physical training, the pranks they play on each other, and the punishments they receive from their officers.

Originally Rakesh Sharma who played the role of Vikram Rai was supposed to be the hero of the serial. Shah Rukh Khan's character Abhimanyu Rai (supposedly based on the Lt. Col. Sanjoy Bannerji of the Bombay Sappers, Indian Army), was supposed to have been the second lead. However Lt. Col. Raj Kumar Kapoor said in an interview that the camera “loved him so much” that they had to change the script to prop up Khan as the lead.

Initially Shah Rukh Khan role in the serial was to count the crows. [2] Shah Rukh Khan said “I landed up on the sets of ‘Fauji’, because the house-owner that we were speaking to after we needed a smaller house post the demise of my father, got to know that I’d been in Mumbai to act, and he revealed that his own father-in-law was producing a TV serial.

"When I went there, Colonel Kapoor (Producer-director) offered me this sweet role, where I make a mistake and the Major would ask me to go a tree and count the number of crows in it. Once I reveal there are four, he asks me to be ‘Saavdhaan’. I was embarrassed to go back and tell my mother that my role was all about counting crows.”

Vishwajeet Pradhan also made his debut with this serial.
