CID 2 ACP Pradyuman Returns Shivaji Satam Comeback Update

CID 2 ACP Pradyuman Returns: Shivaji Satam’s Comeback Sparks Excitement

Just when fans thought the legendary ACP Pradyuman was gone for good, CID 2 hits back with a shocking twist — CID 2 ACP Pradyuman returns, and fans couldn’t be more thrilled.

The emotional rollercoaster started when viewers saw ACP Pradyuman’s sudden death in the April 5 and 6 episodes of CID 2. Replacing him was a new face — ACP Anushman, played by Parth Samthaan. But the audience wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the character who had become the soul of the show for over two decades.

Why Did ACP Pradyuman Leave CID 2?

A few weeks ago, news broke that Shivaji Satam had exited the show. While it shook the audience, insiders now say it might have been a well-planned move to stir public interest. As per reports, the backlash from viewers was so strong that the show’s creators had no choice but to bring him back — and they’re planning to do it in dramatic style.

What’s the Plan for His Return?

According to a report in TellyChakkar, a grand “back-from-the-dead” storyline is in the works. The production team is crafting a suspense-filled re-entry for the veteran actor, which could hit screens in the coming weeks.

Fans flooded social media with excitement after the news broke:

“We were right. Our belief our trust was right. Humare @shivaajisatam sir wapis aa rahe hai people. #CID2 #CID”

“ONG finally hamare @shivaajisatam sir vapas aa rahe hai.. Waiting for his grand entry in CID…… The Boss will be back soon.”

“Power of social media. Maybe this was done to create hype.”

“Hahaha, even the makers know that removing ACP Pradyuman from CID is like digging their own grave. He will be back soon the legendary ACP Pradyuman returns! (Parth Samarth might be appearing for just a few episodes).”

Was His Exit a Publicity Stunt?

Now, everyone’s asking — was ACP Pradyuman’s exit even real? Or just a smart strategy to spark buzz around CID 2? The answer may lie in how the makers have handled similar plot twists in the past.

An insider told Bharat Details, “ACP Pradyuman is an iconic character and it can never die. Shivaji Satam will be back on the show in a few weeks. Parth Samthaan who has made an entry will be shooting for a short period. The makers have previously revived characters, so this is nothing new.”

What’s Next for Parth Samthaan?

While fans are excited for Shivaji Satam’s return, questions remain about Parth Samthaan’s future on the show. In an interview with Hindustan Times, he said:

“I was initially hesitant to take the role. The idea of senior cast members addressing me as ‘sir’ on screen felt awkward.”

Even though he embraced the role, Parth might only stay for a short arc or shift to a supporting role once Satam returns.

Shivaji Satam Speaks on His Journey

In a recent interview with BT, Shivaji Satam reflected on his long association with CID:

“I have taken a break for some time and the makers know what lies ahead in the show… CID has been an exciting and fruitful journey. I can never forget what the show has given me.”

Satam, who has played ACP Pradyuman for over 22 years, is expected to start shooting again by next week.

The Legacy of CID Lives On

The revival of CID, which ended in 2018 after an incredible 20-year run, returned with Season 2 on December 21, 2024. Streaming now on SonyLIV and Netflix, the series features fan-favorite characters like Daya, Abhijeet, and of course, ACP Pradyuman.

Shivaji Satam’s return promises a mix of nostalgia and fresh suspense, keeping both old fans and new viewers hooked.

So, if you thought CID 2 was done surprising you — think again. The Boss is back.
