The show CID entertained the audience for 20 years from 1998 to 2018. Its actors are still recognized by the name of their characters in the show. When the show suddenly stopped, neither the audience nor the people working on the show were happy. Now Shivaji Satam, who played the role of ACP Pradyuman in the serial, told what was the reason why the show was stopped.
There was competition with KBC
SYDNEY has been the audience’s favorite show. Its memes are still visible on social media. Shivaji, one of the lead actors of the show, was talking to Satam Friday Talkies. He told, ‘We used to ask the channel why they are closing the show? There was a close contest between KBC and us. Yes, TRP had fallen a little but which show does not fall? Before closing the show, he tampered with the schedule. First it used to come at 10 pm, then it started coming at 10:30 pm and sometimes at 10:45 pm. The audience got distracted by this.
Producer wanted to change
Shivaji Satam hinted that the reason behind the closure of the show was the rift between the channel and the producer. He said, ‘Maybe he had problems with the producer and wanted to change him. But for us it was not just a matter of loyalty but also friendship. We grew together, we were a team.
