Stories about investigation

The protagonists comprises an elite group of police offi- cers led by ACP Pandyuman, brilliantly played by Sivaji Satam. Now, Sony TV is revamping the show by adding two new members, a young man and a girl, who have been chosen after a nationwide search.
Hot and happening
Purnima Maudgil, the new anchor of "Connect" on SS Music, has become a hot favourite among the youth after the departure of Shriya Reddy. Says Purnima, a Punjabi by birth, who has lived all her life in Hyderabad: "I used to anchor shows on stage before. I had to create my own style which is friendly and never in-your-face." What's more, the spunky lass is already getting offers from Tamil film directors.
