Amazon Prime Video today launched the trailer of its first Marathi Direct-To-Stream offering, Picasso.
Starring award-winning actor Prasad Oak, child actor Samay Sanjeev Tambe, and Ashwini Mukadam, Picasso gives a glimpse of the Dashavatara art, through a relatable feel-good story about a troubled alcoholic father and his son.
Produced by Shiladitya Bora, Picasso is directed and co-written by debutant Abhijeet Mohan Warang along with co-writer Tushar Paranjape.
Talking about the film’s narrative, debutant director and co-writer Abhijeet Mohan Warang said, “The World of Dashavatara has always fascinated me since my childhood. I am thrilled to present Picasso, the first Marathi film documenting Dashavatara in its pure and original format. I was determined to make this film relatable for each artist, hence we shot the film in real locations. As per the folklore, the origins of this folk art originates from Lakshmi-Narayan Temple in Valaval town of Tal Konkan, where the film has been shot. With this film, we have tried to bring out the essence of the day-to-day challenges of an artist’s life. The relentless, painful yet satisfying process of creativity- from doubting yourself to discovering new ways of facing it.”
Prime members in India and across 240 countries and territories can stream the exclusive World Premiere of Marathi drama, Picasso on Amazon Prime Video starting 19th March 2021.
