The longest running television show on Sony Entertainment Television, CID, will now be made into a feature film.

The show is about a team of detectives working for Mumbai's Crime Investigation Department, and has five main characters: ACP Pradyuman (Shivaji Satam), Senior Inpsector Daya (Daya Shetty), Abhijeet (Aditya Srivastav), Inspector Fredricks (Dinesh Phadnis) and Dr Salunkhe (Narendra Gupta). They will be a part of the film.

"It's an achievement of having the show on air for 13 long years," says producer B P Singh. "We are happy to take this to the next big

plan. The film is still in the stage of writing and pre-production but we aim to release it by the end of this year.

"We plan to do it on a bigger scale," he adds. "We want to make the movie commercially viable and are planning to rope in a big face to play the villain. The film will have lots of action, three-four songs and dance."

Daya is currently competing in the dance-based reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 4, which is apparently a training session for him. So will he dance in the film? "We will picturise the songs according to their personalities," Singh adds.
