CID promo: Shivaji Satam Returns as ACP Pradyuman; suspects Daya of betrayal in a major twist
In a move that has sent waves of excitement across generations of loyal fans, the legendary Shivaji Satam has made a grand return to television, reprising his iconic role as ACP Pradyuman in the much-loved crime thriller CID. Renowned for his piercing gaze, commanding presence, and immortal line — "Kuch toh gadbad hai, Daya" — ACP Pradyuman was the CID team's face for more than twenty years. With trusted officers Abhijeet and Daya, he cracked some of India's most engrossing fictional crimes on Indian television, making CID one of the nation's longest-running and best-known crime shows. There had been rumors in recent weeks that Shivaji Satam had left the show for good — a development that left viewers despondent. But all came crashing back with an official announcement that has now fueled nostalgia and enthusiasm: ACP Pradyuman is returning, and he's going headlong into one of his most intense investigations yet — a betrayal from within. As per the ongoing plot, ACP Ayushmaan made a stunning disclosure to Pradyuman: there's a mole embedded within the CID unit. To unmask this mole, ACP Pradyuman's assassination was staged — a well-thought-out act intended to bring the betrayer out in the open without raising suspicions. The just-released promo has only fueled the fire. It is a high-octane confrontation in which ACP Pradyuman, alive and kicking, pulls out a gun on none other than Inspector Daya , accusing him of being the traitor. The intensity of the moment along with the emotional suspense has left fans agog, with arguments doing the rounds online as to who the actual turncoat could be. Social media has erupted with responses, as new and old fans rejoice at the return of Shivaji Satam. The return is not only a blast from the past — it signals the start of what looks to be one of the most exciting installments in CID history. With tensions mounting and loyalties being tested, expect a rollercoaster of mystery, emotion, and signature CID drama in the coming episodes. One thing is sure — with ACP Pradyuman in charge once again, justice is around the corner.

Parth Samthaan confirms exit from CID with Shivaji Satam's ACP Pradyuman set to return: ‘It was a guest appearance, later got extended'
After a five-year hiatus from television, Kasautii Zindagii Kay actor Parth Samthaan made a much-anticipated return to the small screen — this time stepping into the iconic world of CID. Taking on the role of ACP Ayushman following the on-screen death of Shivaji Satam's legendary ACP Pradyuman, Parth's entry stirred mixed emotions among fans. While many were disappointed not to see Satam in the lead, there was also growing excitement around Parth's character. However, now he has confirmed that his time on the show is nearing its end. In a conversation with Pinkvilla, the actor revealed that his role was always intended as a short-term appearance. 'It's been an absolute pleasure to be a part of a cult show like CID, even if it's just for a brief period. I was on board for a few episodes only, a guest appearance, but later got extended for a couple of months,' he shared. He further elaborated on why there was no early confirmation about his involvement, stating, 'Initially, we couldn't give any confirmation on the same as it would have spoiled the excitement of the show. And now with Shivaji Sir's return, that thrilling twist about the mole will unfold very soon.'

It was previously speculated that Parth's time on the show would be limited and the makers would bring back Shivaji Satam. It was even said that his character's death was largely a marketing gimmick. The beloved crime drama, which originally aired from 1998 to 2018, was revived for a second season in December 2024 following massive fan demand. The return of the original trio — Shivaji Satam, Aditya Srivastava, and Dayanand Shetty has been central to the show's nostalgic revival, with Satam once again donning the role of ACP Pradyuman.
