Kay Kay Menon is solid as ever essaying a complex role in the segment "Bahrupiya" of the anthology series `Ray`. The episode is based on late legend Satyajit Ray`s short story in Bangla titled "Bahurupi", or the impressionist, and comes laden with an element of fantasy. The actor decodes how he faced the challenge of essaying a brutally realistic role that treads into the domain of make-belief. "I have an easy way that can also be called the escapist way. I look at a story as a story. I removed the baggage. I look at it as (director) Srijit (Mukherji)`s interpretation of the story and that`s the newspaper headline for me," Kay Kay tells IANS.
The story casts the actor as a timid make-up artist named Indrashish Saha, who inherits a strange book on prosthetic expertise when his grandmother passes away, along with a substantial amount of money. Reality and fantasy fuse in the storyline, and Indrashish is sucked into a vortex of doom as he begins to imagine he is invincible and starts abusing his newfound `power` to `become` anybody he wishes.
