The Real Reason Behind CID's Sudden Closure: Shivaji Satam Reveals Inside Story
Disputes Between Makers and Channel, TRP Issues, and Loyalty to the Team Led to the End of the Iconic Crime Show After 20 Years
Whenever we talk about famous TV shows, CID's name will be included in it. This show had made its mark in every household. This show started in the year 1998 and was successful in maintaining a great TRP for 20 years. But its sudden closure came as a big shock to the fans. While on the one hand, the fans were demanding a new season, on the other hand, Shivaji Satam, who played the lead role of ACP Pradyuman in the show, has revealed the reason behind the closure of the show.
What did Shivaji Satam reveal?
In a recent interview with the media, Shivaji Satam said that some disputes were going on between the makers of the show and Sony channel, due to which the show had to be closed despite its tremendous popularity. He said that there was good competition between both shows, which became a reason for the closure of CID.
What was the TRP issue with CID?
In the interview, Shivaji said, "We used to ask the channel why they were closing it. Our show was at par with KBC. Yes, the TRP of the show dropped a little, but which show's TRP doesn't drop? Before shutting down the show, the channel tampered with its schedule. The show always used to come at 10 pm, but they started telecasting it at 10:30 pm or sometimes even at 10:45 pm. Due to this also people stopped watching the show."
The disputes with the makers
Shivaji Satam said about the channel's dispute with the makers, "The channel had some problems with the makers and they wanted to change them. But for us, it was a matter of loyalty as well as friendship. We had moved forward together through the show because we were a team. Overall, this show was forcibly shut down." Apart from Shivaji Satam, actors like Dayanand Shetty, Aditya Srivastava and Dinesh Phadnis played important roles in the show.
