With mobile gamers across India brooding over the government's move to ban popular gaming app PUBG Mobile, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar announced an Indian app called FAU-G to cater to the same crowd. Before the players were airdropped to this new battlefield, it was however raining memes and jokes online. The action game, called Fearless And United-Guards of FAU-G, will be an initiative supporting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Atmanirbhar movement, the makers claim. As #FAUG and #AkshayKumar dominated trends across social media sites, many remarked how it took just two days for the Indian version to be announced. There were also those disappointed by the similarities to 'Fanatical Futurist', a US-military based action game. Nonetheless, netizens are intrigued to see what the new game has to offer.

Several Indian game developers are using the PUBG Mobile ban as an opportunity to bring desi alternatives to the game to encash on the gamers' interest. The game has been removed from Google Play store and Apple App store. Users who have the game downloaded on their phones are still able to play the game.
