Fans of the iconic crime drama CID were in for a surprise as veteran actor Shivaji Satam, known for his legendary portrayal of ACP Pradyuman, made a stunning return to the sets of CID 2. The show, which originally aired from 1998 to 2018, made a comeback in 2024, bringing back beloved characters like Daya (Dayanand Shetty) and Abhijeet (Aditya Srivastava).
However, CID 2 took an unexpected turn when ACP Pradyuman’s character was reportedly killed off, leaving fans heartbroken. The introduction of Parth Samthaan as ACP Ayushmaan brought fresh energy to the series, but many viewers continued to hope for the return of the original ACP.
Their wishes seem to have come true, as Parth Samthaan recently shared a behind-the-scenes video on his Instagram stories, revealing that he was shooting with Shivaji Satam. In the clip, the two actors are seen shaking hands and sharing a light moment. Parth captioned the video, “Shooting with ACP Pradyuman aka @shivaaji_satam was a delight and full of entertainment… gem of a guy”.
This unexpected return has sparked excitement among CID fans, who have long associated ACP Pradyuman with his famous catchphrase, “Kuch to gadbad hai!”. Just days before Parth’s video, Shivaji Satam himself had hinted at his comeback by posting a cryptic image featuring the iconic dialogue.
With ACP Pradyuman back on the sets, CID 2 is set to reclaim its legacy, blending nostalgia with fresh storytelling. Fans eagerly await official confirmation on whether Shivaji Satam’s return is permanent or part of a special storyline.
