The team of ALTBalaji's 'Cartel' joined hands with Mission Green Mumbai for an important cause. The 'Cartel' team and the NGO came together to plant trees in Aarey Colony in Mumbai.
For the unversed, 'Cartel' is a show featuring The Angre family, who own and rule Aarey. The whole idea was to promote awareness about protecting Aarey. The show's lead, Rithvik Dhanjani, who plays Abhay Angre in the series, was present at the location. Along with him, Pranati Rai Prakash, Anil George, Sushrii Mishraa, and Kannan Arunachalam took part in the tree plantation.
