Producers Alind Srivastava and Nissar Parvez have quashed reports stating that a fire broke out on the set of their TV show Ali Baba Dastaan-e-Kabul and destroyed it. “It happened on another set,” Parvez tells us.

Srivastava, while denying the reports, shares that the studio they are shooting in has 11 floors and the mishap happened on a deserted floor. “We were shooting outside [when the incident happened], thank God for that!” he adds.

According to reports, a fire broke out at Bhajanlal Studios situated in Kaman (Vasai) on the outskirts of Mumbai, around midnight on Friday. Flames were put out by 4 am on Saturday, a fire brigade official of the Vasai-Virar City Municipal Corporation told PTI. The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained, the official said.

Actor Sayantani Ghosh, who plays a pivotal role in the show, says: “It’s like in Film City. It (Bhajanlal Studios) is a big studio with different floors and sets of different films and shows. I don’t know who is spreading false information. Our set is completely fine.”

The TV show, which stars Abhishek Nigam and Manul Chudasama, will go off air in June. Earlier, the show featured Sheezan Khan and late Tunisha Sharma. The latter died by suicide on set in December last year. A day later, Khan was arrested on charges of abetment. He walked out of jail on March 5.
