CID, the iconic crime show featuring iconic characters, has kept fans glued to their screens for nearly three decades before it went off air. Now we have learnt that actors Aditya Srivastava and Dayanand Shetty, who played Abhijeet and Daya, respectively, are coming back! However, there's a twist! The dynamic duo won't be reprising their characters; Shetty confirms, "Yes, we're making a comeback, but not as Abhijeet and Daya.”

So, how exactly are they coming back? Well, this time it will not be about solving crime - it will be all about satisfying wanderlust and taste buds! Shrivastava spills the beans, saying, "Daya and I have been partners in crime-solving for 20 years, and our bond is unbreakable. Our old CID crew came up with this brilliant idea of a travel show, and we are gearing up to launch it on YouTube in May. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride filled with travel tales and foodie fun. We've already explored Satara, Maharashtra, and now we're spicing things up in Goa!"
The overwhelming demand from fans to see the CID dream team back in action pushed them to embark on this new adventure, admit both actors. But wait, there's more! Shrivastava and Shetty will be seen in a film too. "We have completed a film. We have gotten a lot of love from the audiences till now; hopefully it will continue," he concludes.
Rishabh Suri is an Assistant Editor, film critic, and professional overthinker of plot points. He writes for HT City, keeping pace with an industry where news cycles expire long before the popcorn gets cold. He completed his graduation in English Honours from Kirori Mal College, followed by a Master’s degree in English Literature-effectively training his brain to over-analyse classic texts before applying those exact same skills to 3-hour Bollywood blockbusters. He got into the profession when he had barely graduated from college and has been at HT ever since. At HT, Rishabh reviews films with a simple rule: skip the dense academic jargon and get straight to the point. Beyond reviews, as Assistant Editor, he helps navigate the broader circus of showbiz, tracking everything from OTT shifts to sudden box office panics. In a beat driven by loud PR machinery and carefully scripted answers, Rishabh prefers cutting through the noise to focus on how stories get made and why trends shift. When he isn’t writing against a deadline, he is usually sitting in a dark theater, compulsively memorising dialogues. For Rishabh, analysing movies isn't just a day job- it’s a habit he couldn't turn off even if he tried.
