For many, such a drastic cast change was not acceptable. Immense trolling followed, which was not only directed towards CID makers for "killing" ACP Pradyuman, but also at Parth, who many thought was not the ideal replacement for veteran actor Shivaji.

The clip has since gone viral on social media, with many lavishing praise on Parth for his work ethic and his respect for a senior actor. “Shooting with ACP Pradyuman aka Shivaji Satam was delightful and full of entertainment.
