The Story in Brief
Rajesh Tailang will replace Anup Soni as the host of Crime Patrol 2026, Times Now has exclusively reported. According to the outlet, Ajay Devgn has shot only the first 10 episodes as host. His long-term involvement depends on audience response and TRPs. Tailang, known for Delhi Crime, will take over after those episodes.
However, Sony TV had earlier announced Ajay Devgn as the new host and released a promo featuring him. Anup Soni, who hosted the show for over a decade, told ANI he accepts the change and expects people to remember him for Crime Patrol. The new season premieres August 31.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that Ajay Devgn is taking over Crime Patrol ignores the fine print. He has only signed on for 10 episodes, after which Rajesh Tailang takes over, pending TRPs. Fans mourning Anup Soni's exit might see this as a trial run. The real test lies in the ratings after those first 10 episodes. Will Devgn's star power pull viewers, or will the audience miss Soni's stern authority? The numbers will settle it.
