Hasan and his team members also rushed to their lives when the fire erupted due to an electric circuit, reports said.

Mekaal Hasan said that he had approached all the artists, including Atif Aslam, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Fawad Khan and Zulfi, who have been associated with the studio, to get donations for the studio.

Junoon, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Jal, Noori, Zeb & Haniya, Fariha Parvez, and Coven are the big names that have recorded their albums at the studio, which also played a key role in polishing various artists in their struggling times.
