Why does acp pradyuman wear a hat

This story is from November 24, Shivaji Satam, the actor who's played the cult cop in CID for 15 years, is rumoured to be quitting the show, much to the dismay of his fans. God, this gentleman in a blue velvet coat is convinced, sleeps late on Fridays and Saturdays. On those two nights, for the past 15 years, the divine entity has been turning on the television to watch a team of Indian cops in plain clothes if you can call a blazer plain place their hands on their hips and solve seemingly complex murder cases within an hour.

The face of this bureau is this very gentleman in the blue blazer - an ACP named Pradyuman whose trademark scowl has made CID television's longest-running show. It might disappear soon though. Shivaji Satam, the man who turned ACP Pradyuman into a cult figure with his unique scowl and gestures like putting his index finger to his temple while thinking, is said to be on his way out.

And the news has been making CID fans perspire like the show's criminals do under its severe, interrogatory bulb. Satam, however, simply laughs at the suggestion that he should now be drawing a pension for his CID tenure, and neither confirms nor denies the reports. The year-old filmed a scene with Aamir Khan for a recent episode where he points to the pencil sketch, flashes that famous frown and wonders how such a frail girl could have committed murder.

The sketch shows only the face. After the scene, he asks for some lip balm in a normal tone. Clearly, the exaggerated gestures and dialogue are switched on for the camera. On the first day of the shoot, Satam observed Singh walking up to the 'dead body' bobbing in the sea at Juhu Beach. Singh loved the outcome. Shivaji has kept the show going for 15 years, which is no small feat. I hope they like it. Since then, we are all good friends, and CID is a great show, so why not?

Having played negative roles in films mostly, he is excited about playing a positive role on TV this time. We will show how he has to adjust to the rhythm of the team, while they too have to work according to his style. Shivaji to return? He wanted to take a break, so the channel has now given him a long one. Deepak Shirke has been roped in as the lead, but Shivaji will be back in the first quarter of the year.

I asked, 'What happened? Abhi jo tu aise haath kar ke bata raha tha. Yehi mujhe chahiye, karega tu ye? Isko tu ACP ke character mein laa sakta hai kya? The way you were explaining, using your hands, will you be able to replicate this as ACP? After some back-and-forth, Shivaji replicated the gesture for the show, and the rest is history.

The line remains popular among viewers even years after the show ended. It has become fodder for memes, as well. Shivaji thinks of this as a compliment.

How can one even think of such a thing, it is so amazing! What more wonderful compliment can be there than this," he gushed. Not just viewers, but celebrities, too, have showered the show with love. One of the show's most popular fans is legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar. Shivaji revealed that the singer has hosted the cast at her house. We've had dinner with her and her family. She's gifted us some wonderful gifts. One such is a wristwatch.
