he casted

The reason the plot of the fairy tale wasnt used for the movie may have had something to do with the fact that in the original fairy tale, there are some 42 murders; the first is Ali Babas cousin, and the other forty-one are those of the forty thieves themselves and later, their ringleader who arrives at Ali Babas disguised as a merchant and thirsting for revenge. He is the last of the Forty Thieves to die.
