In the 1990s, when Indian television had yet to embrace the concept of investigative thrillers, CID arrived like a breath of fresh air. It quickly became a household name, and every character from the show etched a place in the audience’s heart — none more so than ACP Pradyuman, portrayed by Shivaji Satam. His commanding presence, iconic dialogue delivery, and unique style turned him into a cultural phenomenon.
Recently, CID 2, the show’s second season, made a return with fresh plot twists. One of the biggest shocks came when the storyline revealed the mysterious death of ACP Pradyuman — a plot point that made fans believe actor Shivaji Satam had exited the series for good.
ACP Pradyuman Returns From the Dead?
Now, a newly released promo has turned the tide completely. In a jaw-dropping twist, ACP Pradyuman is seen alive — and not just alive, but pointing a gun at his own team member, Daya. The promo shows him pulling the trigger, leaving fans stunned and confused. His unexpected and dramatic re-entry has sparked intense speculation. What’s even more shocking is that the ACP doesn’t seem to recognize anyone — not even his trusted team.
Promo Creates Buzz
In the promo, Daya is seen informing the rest of the team that he encountered ACP Pradyuman. While the news initially excites everyone, Daya appears visibly disturbed about the nature of their meeting. The scene then cuts to the tense face-off between the two, where Pradyuman threatens Daya at gunpoint. His lost memory and bizarre behavior hint at a gripping storyline ahead, with fans eagerly waiting to uncover the truth.
Fan Demand Brings Show Back to Life
After the episode showing ACP Pradyuman’s “death” aired, viewers expressed strong disappointment. Ratings began to fall, and fans flooded social media, demanding his return. Responding to this outcry, the makers brought Shivaji Satam back — and his reappearance has already revitalized interest in the show. It feels like CID 2 has found its pulse again.
With this unexpected twist and Shivaji Satam’s magnetic presence, CID 2 seems ready to recapture its former glory — and fans couldn’t be more thrilled.
