CID, the iconic cop series, is all set to return to the screens very soon on Sony TV. The show started in January 1998 and ran for nearly 20 years, entertaining fans with its unique format, nail-biting twists, gripping storylines, and amazing characters like ACP Pradyuman, Inspector Daya, and Abhijeet. Its blend of suspense, drama, and quirky one-liners made the show one of the favorites of its time, and people still recall the iconic moments in the show.
In its newest version, CID will be produced by Banijay Asia, a famous content maker in the OTT space that has made successful projects like The Night Manager, Matsya Kaand, the TV show The Kapil Sharma Show, and others. As per the source, “The show CID will bring together Shivaji Satam, Dayanand Shetty, and Aditya Srivastava. Work on the show has started and will soon go on floor.” However, the question arises: will the show manage to live up to its past glory?
