Abhishek,  
You may need to build VTK master to fix this problem and you’ll have to patch VTK master like this:

```auto

diff --git a/Utilities/Python/CMakeLists.txt b/Utilities/Python/CMakeLists.txt
index 632069bc0d..44e4371b1a 100644
--- a/Utilities/Python/CMakeLists.txt

   # More investigation is necessary.

```

See the following thread for context:
