Next, the narrative centers on Palash Mukherjee, a painter who lives in north Kolkata. He is referred to as Picasso by all.

"My character in 'Picasso' is challenging enough; this character has many layers," stated Tota Roy Chowdhury. Also, the screenplay is written quite skillfully. To make it happen, we have talked a lot and worked very hard. I've played painters before, but not with the same level of mystery as this one. Tota Roy Chowdhury also appeared in Ranveer Singh's starrer 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' in 2023.
Whoever is painting is dying. What sort of creator! 'Picasso,' as his friends call him. Although the real name of the artist is Palash Mukherjee. Once more, he has won a national award for artistry. But why is Picasso passing away? Journalist Shreya gave it some thought as well. That's why he wants to investigate the situation.
"Among the most intriguing and nuanced characters I have portrayed thus far is Ananya. The most difficult part was trying to understand and depict the layers in her personality and how/why she changes as the story progresses. Such characters are what we actors yearn for," said Roja Paramita.
