From Returning after 6 years to ACP Pradyuman’s character coming to an end, Parth Samthaan stepping in and more: Times when CID 2 recently made headlines

The iconic crime show CID made a powerful comeback recently and fans are enjoying it ever since. However, the show has been making headlines after Shivaji Satam made an exit from the show. From emotional exits to fresh faces joining the cast, the reboot has stirred nostalgia while embracing change. Here’s a look at the top moments that have kept CID 2 in the spotlight:

Return After 6 Years

After going off-air in 2018, CID made a much-awaited return with its second season, impressing the fans. The audiences were thrilled to see the legacy of the long-running crime thriller continue, as the makers promised a new format with fresh storytelling while keeping the show’s core essence alive.

3/7

ACP Pradyuman’s Character Comes to an End

One of the most heart-wrenching and talked-about moments recently was the official end of ACP Pradyuman’s character. Shivaji Satam, who portrayed the iconic role for over two decades, became a household name and the face of the crime show. His absence in the reboot marked the end of an era, leaving fans both heartbroken. Many even expressed their disappointment over the same.

4/7

Parth Samthaan Steps Into the Spotlight

Bringing a fresh wave of excitement, CID 2 welcomed popular actor Parth Samthaan the show. Parth, who is usually seen playing very youth-centric roles will now take on a serious avatar as he steps into the world of crime-solving. His presence aims to attract a younger audience in the show.

Shivaji Satam on his exit

Shivaji Satam addressed these developments, stating that he was not informed about his character’s conclusion and is currently on a break. He mentioned, “I have no clue about this. I have taken a break for some time, and the makers know what lies ahead in the show. I have learnt to take everything in my stride, and if my track is over, I am okay with it. However, I have not been told whether my track is over or not!”

Modern Twists and Tech-Savvy Investigations

The reboot has also updated its investigative style, plots twists and more, incorporating advanced technology, modern-day crimes, and edgier storytelling. These timely upgrades have sparked conversations online. While most of the fans are enjoying the new change, others express how they are missing the old CID days.

Fan Reactions and Social Media Buzz

From tribute posts for ACP Pradyuman to viral edits of Parth’s new look, social media has been buzzing with CID 2 content. While some fans are still adjusting to the changes, many are rooting for the show’s revival and are excited to see how the new era unfolds. A user wrote, “Our most favourite character, our most iconic ACP sir, I'm literally not liking this end at all. It broke our hearts. It’s not RIP to ACP Pradyuman. It’s RIP to CID & RIP to Sony TV, with this one heartless move, You buried a legacy. ACP's character could have been retired.”

Another user was like, “We like this show very much but disappointed that ACP PRADUMAN is no longer in the show his presence makes the show interesting and it's our humbly request to the team of the channel that please make him back once again in the show.” One more user was like, “This is much better way to create excitement among the viewer compare to you yesterdays post. Still as a fan seenig our childhood hero ACP's exist will loose people's interest on show.”
