CID Introduces Innovative Silent Episode Set in Escape Room
Dayanand Shetty portrays Senior Inspector Daya on CID.
In a bold and innovative move, the creators of the beloved crime series “CID” are set to air a silent episode that unfolds in a high-tech escape room dubbed The Silent Den. What begins as a cheerful birthday celebration quickly spirals into a gripping mystery. The CID team must rely solely on non-verbal cues, such as gestures, expressions, surveillance footage, and forensic data, as they strive to peel back the layers of deceit to reveal the underlying truth behind the seemingly cheerful facade.
In discussing the episode, Dayanand Shetty, known for his role as Senior Inspector Daya, expressed his excitement, stating, “Over the years, we’ve faced a multitude of challenges in CID, but this silent episode is unlike any we’ve attempted before. The absence of dialogue makes this project both a significant challenge and a deeply rewarding experience. It required us to convey our thoughts and emotions through our physical expressions and the deep rapport that our cast shares, both on and off-camera. There are no spoken lines—just instinctive reactions and powerful feelings. This episode resonates on an emotional level, particularly for our long-time viewers. It goes beyond merely solving a crime; it delves into something much more profound and personal.”
Aditya Srivastava, who plays Senior Inspector Abhijeet, added his perspective, stating, “I have always believed in the unique strength of storytelling that taps into emotions without the need for words. This Sunday’s silent episode truly tests that belief. It presents an unprecedented experience for us as actors, as well as for the audience. This creative challenge is what makes the episode exceptional. We are extremely thankful to our dedicated viewers, whose unwavering support has encouraged us to explore fresh approaches in our storytelling. My hope is that this episode resonates with them as not just a thrilling narrative but as a memorable experience that lingers long after the credits roll.”
The silent episode of “CID” will be broadcast on Sony Entertainment Television and will also be available for streaming on Sony LIV.
