Following the death of Tunisha Sharma and the arrest of Sheezan Khan for allegedly abetting the suicide of his co-actor, questions have been raised about the actor's career. Since Sheezan has been in jail, there have been multiple reports claiming that he'll be replaced by the makers of his show Ali Baba: Daastan-e-Kabul. However, the show runners have refrained from making any public statement about it. Now, latest media reports claim, actor Abhishek Nigam will take Sheezan's place in the show.
"Abhishek is on board and he will shoot the promo soon. The story currently revolves around a masked man and it will be revealed that he is none other than Abhishek. A call on Tunisha’s character remains to be taken. Her character may or may not be brought back. The creative team is weighing all options,”ETimes quoted a source as saying.
"Talking about how the story will roll out, the source reveals, “It will be shown that Ali was gravely injured and was healed and got a new face through ancient cosmetic surgery,” the source added.
