Every 90s child had grown up watching CID and the show has been running since the time we can remember. The show had such insane popularity that not just the characters but their epic dialogues too became the sensation. Actor Dayanand Shetty, who essayed the role of the strongest man on ACP Pradyuman’s team, door breaker Daya in the show has recently opened up about the format of these investigation shows.
“There are restrictions while making crime-related shows. The audience will either say it is repetitive or not interesting. So, when you watch different (crime) shows on different television channels, you will observe that certain stories are similar with other stories. You can’t have variations in crime shows as in saas-bahu serials where you can twist the plot or mannerisms of characters. In crime shows, after a certain point, you struggle with writer’s block and you can’t experiment. Having said that, I think we have some good writers who are doing good work,” Shetty said.
He concluded saying, “My next crime show might release and I am glad that it is an example of intelligent writing. There have been many crime shows released on television but ‘CID’ has created a lasting impact. It ran for 21 years on television, so that itself is a huge achievement for us. I think the team involved in making CID had a different level of dedication, disciplined approach and that’s why we were able to run the show for such a long period.”
Now that he is returning to the big screen with a new show, we might once again see him re create that magic.
