Before pandemic Kaivalya Chheda had shot a 12-episode track for the show where he portrayed Genie from the tale of Alladin with show regular Ankit Arora portraying Aladdin and Shiny Doshi portraying Yasmine ( Jasmine ) , while another famed actor Praneet Bhatt roped in to portray nefarious Jafar. Since Kaivalya is a fan of late Robin Williams who had immortalized the character and with relatively fresh Will Smith portrayal in Aladdin (2019) he was very nervous about his performance, but along with approval of director and Creative team , he also garnered praise from Praneet for bringing a different and more vulnerable take of such an iconic character. Unfortunately the said episodes did not air due to channel changing the programming due to pandemic despite of episodes being ready to air. They were later released on streaming platform Voot on 10th of Jan 2022 after nearly 2 years, and even then last segment which was supposed to conclude the track prompting new track was shelved.
