Ajay Devgn to make TV hosting debut with 'Crime Patrol', show to premiere on Aug 31
Mumbai, August 10
Ajay Devgn is set to take on a new role as he makes his television hosting debut with the popular crime show 'Crime Patrol'. The actor will be seen presenting the show as it returns with stories based on crime cases.
The makers recently released the first promo featuring Ajay, giving viewers a first look at his role as the new host.
In the promo, Ajay talks about the alleged crime situation in the country and points out that the person behind a crime is often someone known to the victim. He ends the promo by saying, "Main rahunga aapke saath". The show is set to premiere on August 31 on Sony Entertainment Television.
Talking about his association with the show, Ajay said that being part of 'Crime Patrol' comes with a "responsibility" towards its viewers. He said, "Coming together with a show like Crime Patrol feels like a responsibility to my fans and viewers. The show has built a legacy of understanding crime stories while driving awareness among viewers, encouraging them to become more vigilant about the people around them and who they interact with and trust."
The actor also spoke about the stories that will be featured on the show and said he hopes they help viewers stay careful rather than fearful. "As we bring to the forefront some of the stories inspired by cases that have shaken the nation, I hope and believe that I can help and guide audiences to navigate them with caution rather than fear."

Ajay's entry as the host marks a new phase for 'Crime Patrol', a show that has had several hosts over the years. Actor Anup Soni remains closely associated with the series, having hosted it for several years with his own distinct style.
Ajay, meanwhile, has played several police and law enforcement characters on the big screen. His roles in films such as 'Gangaajal', 'Singham' and 'Drishyam' have already seen him take on characters connected to crime and investigation.

Anup Soni set the bar so high with his hosting style. I hope Ajay Devgn brings something fresh and doesn't just copy the old format. Still, excited to see him in this new avatar!
"Main rahunga aapke saath" — goosebumps! 🙌 Ajay sir has always been perfect in cop roles. This show is going to be a hit. The promos look really intense and well-made.
Crime Patrol is a show that genuinely creates awareness. I've been watching it for years with my family. Ajay Devgn joining is great, but I hope they keep the stories real and don't dramatize them too much for commercial reasons.
Interesting move by Ajay Devgn. TV hosting is a different ballgame compared to films. His fame will definitely bring more viewers, but the content has to stay grounded and informative. Looking forward to seeing how he handles it.
Very responsible decision by Ajay sir to choose a show that creates social awareness. With his experience playing police officers, he'll bring real credibility. Plus, the promo line about the criminal being someone you know — that's a hard-hitting reality. 👏
