Ajay Devgn to appear in the new season of Crime Patrol, 'Crime Ka Current'

Sony Entertainment Television is preparing to present a new season of its popular show 'Crime Patrol' titled 'Crime Ka Current'. In this season, Ajay Devgn will host, presenting viewers with the realities of modern crime.

The new season is scheduled to premiere on August 31, 2026, broadcasting from Monday to Thursday immediately following the program 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' on Sony Entertainment TV and SonyLIV channels.

'Crime Patrol – Crime Ka Current' aims not to frighten the audience, but rather to make them more vigilant and cautious in the rapidly changing conditions of life. The stories shown in this new season are based exclusively on real criminal cases.

In a promotional video, Ajay Devgn highlights one of the main problems of modernity. He speaks about how the social media culture, the pursuit of instant validation, and constantly changing emotions begin to dominate the human mind.

In the published promotional material, Ajay Devgn connects viewers with a deep thought. He notes: 'Every era has its own flow... When our emotions started scrolling like this... Joy with one swipe, anger with another swipe... A person can lose self-control. A crime that shouldn't have happened. Let's watch the unveiling... of a shocking and painful truth.'

His presentation style clearly indicates that this time the show will not be limited to crime stories, but will also touch upon the thought processes behind them and the changing attitude of society.

Alongside his return to television, Ajay Devgn announced a major step in his film career. Earlier this week, he shared the official title of the third and final episode of his sensational series—'Drishyam: The Conclusion'. This film will be released in theaters on October 2, 2026.

In the final part of the film, Ajay Devgn will once again play his iconic role as Vijay Salgaonkar, while both actors from the original cast and new, experienced faces will appear alongside him. Tabbu will once again play the tough role of IG Mira Deshmukh, and Shrira Saran will join as Vijay's wife, Nandini. Rajat Kapoor will also return to the film.

Change in Host of Crime Patrol: Anup Sony's Reaction to Ahaj Devgan's Appointment

Last week, Sony TV made an unexpected announcement, presenting a list of new shows. This list included the announcement that Bollywood actor Ahaj Devgan would host the popular crime show 'Crime Patrol'. This show has long been associated with Anup Sony, who hosted it for over ten years. Following this, Anup Sony shared his thoughts regarding these changes.

After Ahaj was announced as the new host, Anup shared his views on this change and on his legacy in the 'Crime Patrol' show. Anup Sony told a news agency that nothing in his career is more significant than 'Crime Patrol', and regardless of what other work he does, people will remember him because of this show. He added that before 'Crime Patrol', people knew him from his role in 'Balika Vadhu', but after 'Crime Patrol' launched, they forgot about 'Balika Vadhu'.

Recalling advice from legendary actor Anil Kapoor, Anup Sony noted that some roles or projects become turning points in an actor's life. He advised: 'Since these things have become famous, instead of running away from them as an actor, one should accept them.'

Now that Ahaj Devgan is taking on the role of host in 'Crime Patrol', Sony's comments demonstrate the long-term influence of this show on his career.

At the beginning of this week, the creators of 'Crime Patrol' released the first promotional video for the new season, in which Ahaj appeared, giving viewers their first glimpse of his role as host. In the video, Ahaj discusses the situation of crime in the country and asserts that the criminal is often an acquaintance of the victim. The promo ends with his phrase: 'I will be with you.' The show is scheduled to start on Sony Entertainment Television on August 31.

However, according to Bollywood Hungama, these reports are inaccurate. The source informed Bollywood Hungama that Ahaj Devgan did not replace Anup Sony as the host of 'Crime Patrol'. Instead, Ahaj is joining as a special host and will appear only in select episodes.

'Crime Patrol' started on Sony in 2003, hosted by Divakar Pundir, and in 2004, he was replaced by Shakti Anand. The show closed in 2006 and was later resumed in 2010 with Anup Sony and Sakshi Tanwar. After 2011, Anup took sole responsibility for hosting and continued to host the show until 2018. Since then, various seasons have been hosted by Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya, Sonali Kulkarani, Ashutosh Rana, and Sanjeev Tyagi.
