This will be followed by series of shows till 10^th March 2021 at different places like Thane, Kalyan, Panvel, Borivali besides Mumbai city.

 It may be recalled that Savitribai Phule brought in many reforms in our society and people are aware of her contribution but still her principles are  yet to be understood properly. Along with her husband, Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, she played an important and vital role in improving women’s rights in India. She worked to abolish the discrimination and unfair treatment of people based on caste and gender.

 It is for this reason, Mr. Manjul Bharadwaj wants to spread her principles through this play to generate awareness among the people. Group of  Marathi artistes from Theatre of Relevance like Ashwini Nandedkar, Sayali Pawaskar, Komal Khamkar, Tushar Mhaske, Yogini Chouk and Surekha Salunkhe are part of this play.
