It has been reported that Ajay Devgn will host his first ever television show in the upcoming season of Crime Patrol, replacing Anup Soni, who has hosted this show for a very long time. According to the recent report, Ajay Devgn has shot 15 episodes of the famous crime franchise, which is slated to start its premiere from August 31, 2026. This is going to be a huge shift in one of India's most recognized crime franchises and has already generated interest among audiences.
It has been reported that whether or not Ajay will continue hosting after 15 episodes will depend upon the TRPs of the show. Another actor, Rajesh Tailang has been roped in for hosting some episodes, whose number is still not fixed.
Ajay Devgn Has Already Shot 15 Crime Patrol Episodes
As mentioned in the report, 15 episodes of Crime Patrol have already been shot by Ajay Devgan for the forthcoming season of Crime Patrol. This is the first time that the film actor will get a chance to host a television show.
But that is not to say that his hosting stint is limited to only 15 episodes. As per the report, TRPs will decide his further participation in the TV show.
Ajay Devgn Reportedly Replaces Anup Soni As Host
With this kind of change reported, it is clear that Ajay Devgn will take up a position that is closely related to Anup Soni. Anup Soni has been one of the most familiar faces on Crime Patrol for a long time, given how closely tied his presentation style is with the format of the program itself.
Thus, with the involvement of Ajay Devgn in the show, there is sure to be a major change in the presentation style of the new season.

It seems to be decided based upon the audience reaction to the episodes hosted by Ajay. It can therefore mean that the next season of the show may have multiple actors hosting its episodes.

As far as the fans of Crime Patrol are concerned, the most noticeable change will be the replacement of the previous host by Ajay. It is expected that depending on the TRPs of the new season, this change will continue.
