It was around this time that the makers of CID roped in Satam to play ACP Pradyuman. The show was an instant hit and Satam became a household name.

He returned as an inspector in the Nana Patekar-starrer Yeshwant (1997). A year later, he played inspector Hariram in Suniel Shetty’s Vinashak. Three years after Ek Shunya Shunya, Satam was cast as a police officer for the first time on the big screen in the suspense thriller 100 Days (1991).

He was first cast as a police officer, an inspector, in the popular 1988 Marathi TV show Ek Shunya Shunya (One Zero Zero). Remarkably, his next TV show came a decade later, in the form of CID. He then played a doctor in Vijaya Mehta's Pestonjee (1988), starring Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi. Satam made his Hindi film debut back in 1987 with Andhaa Yudh.
