In a move that has left fans emotional, ACP Pradyuman, the legendary character from CID, will reportedly be killed off in an upcoming storyline. After over two decades of playing the iconic role, Shivaji Satam is said to be exiting the show with a dramatic twist that ends in his death.

Why This Exit Now?

According to the Hindustan Times, a decline in TRPs and the need for a creative refresh are among the reasons behind this move. The showrunners reportedly want to inject new energy into the long-running crime thriller.

A source revealed, “It’s true that Shivaji Satam’s character, ACP Pradyuman, is going to die. The makers have decided to take this step due to the low TRP. This decision has been made after much consideration and mutual agreement.”

With the exit of Shivaji from the show, it will be quite interesting to see who will step in to bring back the TRPs for the show. On this, the source stated that except for replacing him with a senior actor, a brand-new actor would step into the role with a brand-new character and go ahead with the story. The new actor will be at par with the popularity and stature of Shivaji Satam.
