CID ACP Pradyuman Returns, ACP Ayushman Face-Off Looms
With the return of ACP Pradyuman, the show is poised to take a dramatic turn, and fans are curious to see how the story will unfold, particularly with regards to Abhijeet's fate and ACP Ayushman's backstory, as the makers strive to boost TRP and reclaim the show's former glory.

The CID promo has revealed the return of ACP Pradyuman, played by Shivaji Satam, sparking a major face-off with ACP Ayushman, portrayed by Parth Samthaan, amidst concerns about Abhijeet's fate after being shot while rescuing a child.
The return of ACP Pradyuman promises to bring more drama and twists to the show, which has seen a decline in viewership since Parth Samthaan's entry as ACP Ayushman in December 2024. Despite fans' love for Parth's performance, the show's TRP has dropped significantly, with the easy availability of CID 2 on Netflix and competition from IPL 2025 being cited as reasons for the decline.
Rumors have been circulating about Parth Samthaan's potential exit from the show, but a source close to the production has refuted these speculations, stating that the channel needs to understand that the low viewership is due to external factors. The source emphasized that the show's makers are considering ways to boost TRP, including the return of Shivaji Satam as ACP Pradyuman.
As the face-off between ACP Pradyuman and ACP Ayushman looms, fans are eagerly awaiting the next episode to see how the storyline unfolds and what the future holds for Abhijeet. The return of ACP Pradyuman is expected to bring a new wave of excitement to the show, and fans are hoping that it will help to revitalize the series and increase its viewership.
