The Story in Brief
Ajay Devgn has replaced Anup Soni as the host of Crime Patrol, making his television debut. The new promo for 'Crime Patrol 2026- Crime Ka Current Season' shows Devgn saying that many cases involve people known to the victim. He has already shot 15 episodes, and his longer stint will depend on audience response and TRPs. Rajesh Tailang is also set to host some episodes. The season premieres on August 31, 2026, on Sony LIV and Sony Entertainment Television. Anup Soni quit the show in 2018 to focus on acting.
The Indian Opinion
The buzz around Ajay Devgn's TV debut masks a simpler test: will audiences care more about a star face or the show's gritty stories? Anup Soni made the host role feel indispensable over 14 years. Devgn's 15-episode trial, with continuation tied to ratings, suggests the network is hedging its bets. The real measure will be whether the new season's cases, focused on crimes by known persons, hit home harder than the host's name.
