Speculative reports flashed in the media about <a hrefhttp://www.tellychakkar.com/news/shivaji-satam-cid-one-best-things-have-happened-me>Shivaji Satam</a> calling it quits and ending his 15 year long association with Sony Entertainment Television’s <em><a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/cid-kolkata-bureau-launch-soon-sony-tvs-bangla-entertainment-channel-aath>CID</a></em> (Fireworks Productions).

<a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/cid-be-made-film>CID</a> is one of the longest running shows in the history of Indian television. And an inseparable part of this series is ACP Pradyuman which is played by renowned TV and film actor, <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/snippets/acp-pradyuman-asks-cops-help-them-shoot-peace>Shivaji Satam</a>, for the last 15 years.

<a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/interviews/i-am-voyeur-ekta-kapoor>Ekta Kapoor</a> has been in the news of late for her upcoming flick Ragini MMS. The TV Queen will now be seen playing herself in an episodic on Sony’s <em><a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/cid-turns-bi-weekly-gets-some-new-faces-board>CID</a></em>.

Well, there’s big news for all the loyal viewers of <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/cid-oldest-show-going-strongest-too>CID</a>. The longest running fiction show on Sony is according to the grapevine being made into a film. Fireworks, the producer of <em>CID</em> have grand plans of turning the successful and immensely popular series into a 70 mm dream with the same star cast. Says a source, “We have been toying with this idea for a long time now, and everything is undergoing a process, as the show is very popular among the masses, and we are working out the other details.”

<a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/cid-and-aahat-teams-get-cracking-bumper-episode>CID</a>, the oldest of all Sony shows and the only show to be running for 13 years is said to have fetched a TRP of nearly 5.2 last week and 4.3 on Saturday. Even in the on-going series of the show, <em>Aakhri Chunauti</em>, the team is on the back of an international don who has already kidnapped four to five officers from the investigative team.

It seems last week's drama did not affect the voting pattern of <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/entertainment-3-replace-indian-idol-5>Indian Idol 5</a> this week too. Last week judges blamed public for voting out <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/shocking-elimination-indian-idol-judges-save-day>Rakesh Maini</a> but saved him by using their veto power. This week they again voted out yet another good singer Shivam Pathak from Uttar Pradesh.

Sony’s longest-running show <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/cid-aahat-writer-turns-director>CID</a> now turns bi-weekly. The show will also introduce some new characters in the mystery-cracking team this month. <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/cid-team-mistook-real-one>Shivaji Satam</a> confirms this news, “Yes the show will turn bi-weekly. New lead characters will enter the show. Hrishikesh Pandey will essay the role of a <em>CID</em> cop along with Jasveer Kaur. Manini Mishra plays the role of a forensic expert.”

Recently the <a href= http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/cid-and-aahat-teams-get-cracking-bumper-episode>CID </a> team was shooting in a mall at Shimla and the onlookers mistook them for real people and called the cops.

Ten years, 465 episodes. That's Sony's top ranking show <em>CID</em> for you. To celebrate that achievement Fireworks Productions' Pradeep Upoor and BP Singh threw a bash for select industry colleagues who have had something to do with the show at Echoes in Juhu, north Mumbai last night.
