The makers of CID recently confirmed that ACP Pradyuman is no longer part of the story. The Instagram handle of Sony TV has officially confirmed the character’s death. Well, seems like Shivaji Satam, who has played the iconic character for over 27 years, wasn’t informed about his character being cut off from the show. In a new interview, Satam reveals that he had merely taken a break for some time and was not informed if his track had ended.

Shivaji Satam talked about the news that ACP Pradyuman has been killed off in CID’s most recent episode. The actor told Bombay Times, “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! As of now, I am not shooting for the show."

    The actor further said that he will be travelling in May with his son, which is why he opted for a break. “I am planning to go on a holiday in May, because my son who lives abroad is coming to India. I have enjoyed playing ACP for 22 years in the earlier season. It has been a great journey. The show has given me a lot. As of now I am just taking a break and am going to enjoy my life. I have worked hard, and everyone deserves a break. Whether my track will be revived or not is something the makers know well," he added.

    In the latest episode, the senior cop was shown dying in an explosion, and soon after, whispers started flying that actor Shivaji Satam wanted to take a break. Sony shared an image of ACP Pradyuman on Instagram with the words, “In the loving memory of ACP Pradyuman… A loss that will never be forgotten." The image graphic read: ‘End of an era. ACP Pradyuman (1998-2025)’.
