Talking about the project, the actor said in a CE report, “It’s an action film and I play a gangster in it. The makers wanted an actor who could pull off the rough role, and they were impressed with my acting in Pandigai and Maari 2. We started shooting in Kerala yesterday and I am surprised by the way people here have been showering their love on me.”
Picasso is being produced by Sheik Afzal under the banner of Ayaana Films. Music for the movie is by the Jimikki Kammal fame composer Shaan Rahman. Picasso is slated to release in April.
Meanwhile, Krishna is currently shooting for Kazhugu 2 – the sequel to his 2012 hit movie. Directed by Sathya Siva, the movie features Bindhu Madhavi who was the female lead in the original.
