In this interview, K.V.Anand talks about Ko and much more

You started your career as a photo journalist. Now the protagonist of Ko is A photo journalist. Is the film autobiographical?

Yes, I started my career as a photo journalist with the Tamil magazine Kalki.  I have done quite a few cover stories for India Today and Illustrated Weekly also. I have also taken cover photographs for Suba's (Suresh and Bala) crime thrillers  So, photo journalism is one field I know more than anything else. I know how magazines work but not much about news papers. But this film is not autobiographical.
