There has been talk of reunions for TV series from the 90's.
This TV series is now discontinued, but the nightingale of Bollywood wants a reunion.
A thread about the origin of the TV Series CID.
The man behind the TV series is BP Singh who had a successful Marathi series called Ek Shunya Shunya on DD.
See if you can spot some familiar faces from that show?
While working on that series, he met a doctor who told him - "People lie, but the dead always tell the truth."
That got him interested in cases where forensics were involved. He did all the research and spent more than 4.5 lacs of his personal money and shot 6 episodes of CID in 1992.
