will set a record of sorts this weekend when it completes 20 years since it first went on air on January 28, 1998. It is India's longest-running police procedural and its lead cast memberhas several fond memories of his time on the show. Nothing, however, beats the one from 2004."The best memory for me will always be the 111-minutes-long single shot episode we did in 2004," says. He is referring to the episode titled The Inheritance which aired on November 7, 2004. The episode was filmed in a single shot from start to finish - the complete 111 minutes. It was a momentous achievement that landed the show's entire team in the Limca Book of Records and the Guinness Book of World Records."This is very important for me as we, as Indians, we set up a world record," asserted. "That too in such a field of work. Coming from an Indian project, an Indian serial, everyone - from the spot boy to the director and producer - it was all India, pure India."revealed that the final product was essentially their first take but the cast worked hard to make this "one take wonder" happen. "We rehearsed for six days," said. "The cameraman was involved, the designer was involved. It was a four-storeyed building, with two storeys under the ground - cellars that were half complete so there was no lighting there. And this particular building had four corridors. It is a hotel now on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, you can see it on your left when you are on your way to Pune."It is also the most difficult thing he has shot in his CID career, he said. "People from our own industry were amazed. How did you do it, they asked. I feel proud of it."
