Sony TV’s show CID which started in the year 1998 produced by Fireworks Productions has seen very few changes in the regular cast. The serial is one of the most popular and longest running shows on Indian television. But now it’s all set to bid adieu to Vivek Mashru who plays the role of inspector Vivek on the show. A source tells us, “He was selected after a nationwide hunt a few years ago for a new face on the show. It’s been almost more than four years since he has been playing the same role. He is keen on doing new things and experiment with different roles rather than doing the same ones again and again. He has had no issues till date as he is one of the most calm and down to earth person.” Vivek Mashru refrained from spilling the beans as he said, “No comments.” Pradeep Uppoor producer of the show said, “We are still in talks with him. He has quoted some personal reasons which he hasn’t told us.”
