National Award-winning cinematographer K V Anand is coming out with his third Tamil film Ko  very soon. His first film as a director was Kana Kandein which was critically acclaimed while his second film Ayan was the biggest commercial success of 2009.

His major films as a cinematographer other than Priyadarshan's Thenmavil Kombath for which he won the National Award, include Shankar's Mudhalvan, Sivaji, Rajkumar Santhoshi's The Legend of Bhagat Singh, Khakhee, Mansoor Khan's Josh, to name a few.

The audio of Ko composed by Harris Jayaraj was released on the January 19 amidst much fanfare.

K V Anand who started his career as a photo journalist narrates the story of a photo journalist in Ko. Jiiva plays the photo journalist while Karthika, daughter of the yesteryear actress Radha plays a journalist in the film. Ajmal and Piia also play major roles

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.
