Protestors had started demonstrating against the authorities’ move to start cutting trees in the area on Friday night to clear the space for a metro car shed, hours after the Bombay High Court rejected petitions against it. The police charged at protestors with batons even as many demonstrators camped outside Aarey through the night.
Many other celebrities like Subodh Bhave, Ravi Jadhav have also expressed their anger against this move by the government.
On the work front, Sai's last released film, 'Girlfriend' directed by Upendra Sidhaye did well on the box-office.
