We are happy that C.I.D. is liked by audiences and I hope that it will go on for yet another eleven years.” Which has been your most favourite episode in all these years? “It is the episode that we shot in Jaipur in 2006. It had the longest scene taken of 1151 minutes. It was recorded to be the longest shot and thus we entered the Guinness Book of World Records,” he quips So what will be new in the coming episodes of C.I.D.? “Well there will be new stories with some exciting adventures. Crime in this show is basically about murder which follows the procedures. That’s the reason we are not getting stale and besides the team will remain the same,” he concludes.
