Abhishek Nigam will not replace Sheezan Khan as Ali Baba? Or will the show wind up?

MUMBAI: After the unfortunate death of 20-year-old actor Tunisha Sharma the production team of the Tv show Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul is in a difficult situation as both actors played lead roles.

While Tunisha is no more after her suicide, Sheezan Khan was arrested on charges of abetment to suicide by the Maharashtra police.

Sheezan Khan played the role of Ali Baba, while Tunisha played his love interest Princess Mariam. The show airs on Sony and also stars Karthik Jayaram and Sayantani Ghosh among others and went live last August.

A media report has said the series is not shutting down but the makers are looking for replacement actors. Also the new buzz in the air is that Abhishek Nigam may not be playing Ali Baba after all.

Our source claims that Sheezan Khan has sent a message to the makers of the show that he will be out on bail soon and he would like to continue playing the role of Ali Baba and has requested the makers to give him one week’s time to start shooting.

Sheezan Khan’s bail application in a Thane Sessions court will come up for hearing on the 7th of this month.
