This show has always been an integral part of our childhood and Indian Television ! The all time famous dialogues as well as the officers becoming veterans or rather Legends (ACP pradyuman , Daya & Abhijeet ) , this show has seen it all and to be a part is truly a blessing for me (sic)." related stories Take a look here: The actor was speaking to Hindustan Times when he said, “Initially, I rejected the role of ACP Pradyuman, because I don’t relate to it. But the makers asked me to reconsider. I was also hesitant due to the show’s long-standing cast and the fact that they’d have to address me as ‘sir’ on screen. It felt a bit unusual and awkward." For the unversed, Parth Samthaan has officially replaced veteran Shivaji Satam, who played the iconic ACP Pradyuman in CID for decades. The show now revolves around the hunt for Barbosa, the man responsible for Pradyuman’s murder. But it’s no longer just a mission—it’s personal. The emotional rift between the OG CID officers and the new leadership has set the stage for a gripping storyline. Fans, however, are divided. While some are intrigued by the new drama, others continue to demand the return of ACP Pradyuman or the promotion of original characters like Abhijeet and Daya. There’s strong buzz that the makers may bring back Pradyuman’s character due to popular demand, but there’s been no official confirmation yet. CID 2 marks the revival of one of Indian television’s longest-running shows, which originally went off air in 2021. The new season airs every Saturday and Sunday at 10 pm on Sony Entertainment Television. First Published: April 20, 2025, 07:38 IST
