Fans of the iconic Indian crime investigation series CID have a major reason to celebrate. Actress Janvi Chheda, who won hearts as Inspector Shreya in the original series, has officially confirmed her return in the upcoming sequel, CID 2. The show, which will also see the legendary Shivaji Satam reprising his role as ACP Pradyuman, promises to bring back the same gripping investigations and nostalgic camaraderie that defined the original.
Speaking about her return, Janvi Chheda expressed immense excitement and a deep emotional connection to her character. “It feels like I’m picking up right where I left off,” she said. “Shreya has always been a part of me, and stepping back into her shoes is both surreal and satisfying. The uniform, the energy, the chemistry with the team — it all feels very familiar, like coming home.”
CID 2 aims to reintroduce the show to both long-time fans and a new generation of viewers. While the core spirit of the original series remains intact — focusing on unraveling complex cases with moral clarity — the sequel will incorporate updated investigative techniques, fresh storylines, and a more contemporary production style.
Janvi also hinted at new layers being added to Shreya’s character, saying, “There’s a lot more emotional depth and backstory this time around. The audience will get to see a different side of her — not just the tough cop, but the person behind the badge.”
The original CID aired for over two decades and became a household name, largely due to its memorable characters, thrilling storytelling, and iconic catchphrases. Shivaji Satam’s ACP Pradyuman, alongside Daya and Abhijeet, became legendary figures in Indian pop culture.
With the return of Janvi Chheda and the revival of CID under a new banner, expectations are high. Loyal fans are thrilled to see familiar faces back in action, while the showrunners are also teasing the addition of fresh cast members to keep the narrative engaging and dynamic.
Production for CID 2 is already underway, and while the premiere date has not yet been officially announced, buzz around the show continues to grow. As Janvi and the team prepare to bring back the thrill of crime-solving, audiences can look forward to a blend of nostalgia and novelty — a tribute to the original legacy, with a modern-day twist.
