Anup Soni Hints at Possible Crime Patrol Comeback
Anup Soni was the host of Crime Patrol for many years.
He left the show because he wanted to spend more time acting.
Crime Patrol has now returned with Ajay Devgn as its host.
Anup said he may come back for a future season.
He did not say that he would return in the current season.
He is also working on two new projects called Shaque and The Vvaan.
He said both projects have different characters and looks.
Anup believes crime thrillers are popular, but audiences want good stories.
Reports say Ajay Devgn may earn Rs.
6 crore per episode, but this has not been confirmed.
Anup Soni said he is sure he will return to Crime Patrol in a future season.
He did not confirm whether he will appear in the current season hosted by Ajay Devgn.
Soni previously hosted Crime Patrol for eight years before leaving to focus on acting.
He called leaving the show a personal decision because hosting limited time for other projects.
Ajay Devgn is reportedly being paid Rs. 90 crore for 15 episodes, though the fee remains unconfirmed.
