Sony TV’s CID 2 has fans buzzing with excitement as reports swirl about the return of Shivaji Satam as the iconic ACP Pradyuman. The beloved crime thriller, which made a triumphant comeback in December 2024 after a six-year hiatus, faced a storm of controversy when news broke of ACP Pradyuman’s supposed death. Now, in a thrilling twist, the makers are reportedly bowing to public demand, planning a grand re-entry for the character who has been the heart of CID since 1998.
The uproar began when reports suggested that Satam’s character was killed off, with Parth Samthaan stepping in as the new ACP Ayushmaan. Fans, who view ACP Pradyuman as the soul of the series, flooded social media with their disappointment, calling for his return and slamming the decision to write him out. The passionate outcry seems to have worked, as sources indicate the CID 2 team is crafting a dramatic storyline to bring Satam back to the screen, reigniting nostalgia for the show’s golden era.
CID has long been a household favorite, with Shivaji Satam, alongside Dayanand Shetty (Daya) and Aditya Srivastava (Abhijeet), delivering unforgettable performances that defined Indian television. The second season, streaming on SonyLIV and airing on Sony TV, has already recaptured audiences with its suspenseful cases, but fans made it clear that the show isn’t the same without its legendary leader.
While details of ACP Pradyuman’s comeback remain under wraps, the buzz suggests viewers can expect a high-octane return packed with the signature thrills CID is known for. Will Satam’s re-entry restore the team’s dynamic and win back skeptical fans? As anticipation builds, one thing is certain: ACP Pradyuman’s legacy is far from over.
Stay tuned to Sony TV every Saturday and Sunday at 10 PM, or catch up on SonyLIV, to see how this iconic saga unfolds. Will “Kuch toh gadbad hai” echo once more? Only time will tell!
