Brad Pitt's 'Fury' will speak Hindi as 'Fauji'

Brad Pitt's "Fury" will be dubbed in Hindi as 'Fauji', inspired by the title of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh's 1988 TV serial. The decision was made as a tribute to Shah Rukh, who played an army officer in the TV show.

"We feel that the film connect will be phenomenal. War films generally have a connect with the Indian audiences due to our own trysts with wars and battles. Brad Pitt epitomises the essence of a 'fauji' and hence we have decided to release the dubbed version of 'Fury' as 'Fauji'", Deepak Sharma, chief operating officer of PVR Pictures, said in a statement.

Like SRK, Pitt had started his career in a big way from the small screen. Both of them worked their way to success on the silver screen, and they now savour global popularity.

A war drama, "Fury" will splash across Indian screens Oct 31, two weeks after its international release Oct 17. The decision was taken keeping in mind the Diwali festivities and the release of Shah Rukh's "Happy New Year".
