However, CID's lead star Shivaji Satam, who played the role of ACP Pradyuman on the show, told Mumbai Mirror that the cast had not been informed of the channel's decision to end the show temporarily.

While speaking to the tabloid, Satam said, "CID has become a part of our lives. It is like someone has cut off an organ from our body." The actor, who also works in the movies, plans to return from his current film shoot and talk to the channel about the show.
