In an interview, Parth Samthaan confirmed that he is stepping into th shows of ACP in the show. He will be playing ACP Ayushmann. Talking about the big reveal, Parth said, “When I discussed it with my family, they thought I was joking. But when I told them I was doing it seriously, they were very proud. It’s actually a very big responsibility to fill in such shoes, such humongous shoes of ACP Pradyuman since I’m replacing him as ACP Ayushmann. It’s a new character, a new story. We will take the story forward with new thrill and suspense. I never thought I would be part of such a collaboration.”
He further said that his character will be investigating ACP Pradyuman’s death in the new season. He said, “In the show, ACP Pradyuman gets killed. Perhaps it’s a murder. To solve the case, a new ACP has been appointed by this agency as ACP Ayushmann. I’m playing that role. This is a huge responsibility.”
