Ko (transl. King) is a 2011 Indian Tamil-language political action thriller film directed by K. V. Anand, and written by him and the writing duo Subha. The film stars Jiiva, Ajmal Ameer, Karthika Nair (in her Tamil debut), and Piaa Bajpai, while Prakash Raj, Kota Srinivasa Rao and Bose Venkat appear in supporting roles. It follows a photojournalist who, while covering the Tamil Nadu State Election, uncovers a conspiracy involving Naxalites. Anand wrote the script based on his early experiences as a freelance photojournalist. The film began production in early 2010 and continued through that December; filming was predominantly held in Chennai, as well as other parts of Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, with song sequences being shot in China and Norway. The film features music composed by Harris Jayaraj, with cinematography by Richard M. Nathan and editing by Anthony. Ko was released on 22 April 2011 and became a commercial success, winning two Filmfare Awards South, three Vijay Awards, two SIIMA Awards, and four Tamil Nadu State Film Awards. It was remade in Bengali as Kanamachi (2013). A standalone sequel titled Ko 2 was released in 2016, with Prakash Raj reprising his role.
