The hugely successful K V Anand-directed Tamil movie Ko is set for a remake in Bollywood and one among the heartthrobs Ranbir Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor is tipped to play the role enacted by Jeeva in the original.

KO was a blockbuster and the director is presently in discussions about the Bollywood project, says actor Ajmal who played a scheming Vasanthan Perumal, Jeeva's friend in the movie.

It was earlier rumoured that Akshay Kumar was to play Jeeva's role. "But it would either be Ranbir or Shahid who are likely to enact that role," said the actor.

Ajmal, who shot to fame playing the role of an anti-hero in the Tamil movie Anjathey, says his role in KO is every actors dream and if everything goes well, he might get a chance to reprise the same in its Bollywood version too.

Anand who was impressed with Ajmal's shots in Thiru Thiru Thuru Thuru and Anjathey signed him on for the movie. "He wanted me to play the role of Jeeva's friend. I was totally focused on my character," says Ajmal, who as a student leader gets elected and becomes Chief Minister in the movie, a seemingly goody-goody character whose real intentions are revealed only in the latter half and catches viewers unawares.

KO has stunning music numbers composed by Harris Jayaraj and the songs are still topping the charts even after months since the film released.

Ajmal, who shot to limelight with the Mysskin directed Anjathe, is happy that his performance in Ko is being well appreciated. The actor plays a negative role in Ko and has received rave reviews for playing the role of Vasanthan Perumal, a young chief minister.

He turned out to be a darling among the female fans overnight. Happy about this success, Ajmal says that he has a secret to reveal to the world. When questioned about his secret, he said that he is happily married and has a son. The actor, who is also a doctor by profession, says that he entered the film industry after getting married.

Ko has opened to a great response from the audiences and Jiiva, the hero of this venture, is thrilled about it. Naturally, many have been wondering if STR regrets backing out from this project as it has turned out to be a super success. His fans took it one step further and have been actively airing their feelings on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. They have said that the role was not a suitable one for their hero as it is a political drama with too many other characters that takes attention away from the lead.

STR was upset that his fans have chosen to show their support by tearing down the efforts of the cast and crew of Ko. He has requested them not to say negative things about others in the industry as they all belong to the same fraternity and he has nothing but respect for all who are a part of the film industry.

STR made it clear that he had certain reason for opting out of Ko and does not want the issue blown out of proportion especially since its success augers well for the industry. That is very decent and sportive of him we must say.

Jiiva is very upset as his film KO is a victim of piracy. The movie has been released on the internet over the weekend and the full version can be watched online. The actor is devastated and has said that such crimes undermine all the hard work that goes into a film and deprive many of their livelihoods.

Not one to remain passive, Jiiva has asked his fans and all film lovers to join him in the fight against piracy. If anyone comes across such illegal websites on the internet they have been requested to send the links to pirakill@hotmail.com, so that the miscreants can be apprehended and suitably punished. We at Behindwoods.com endorse the stand taken by Jiiva and hope that our readers will join the fight to kill piracy.

K V Anand's Ko starring Jiiva, Ajmal and Karthika in lead roles has hit the screens today with a massive response. KO , an intense political-drama is promising to be much bigger hit than Anand's previous outing with Surya.

With K V Anand having completed Ko and Suriya wrapping up the shooting of 7Am Arivu, both are getting ready to start Mattran. Expectations are high as Suriya and Anand come together again after Ayan, which went onto become a blockbuster.

Anand says, ' expectations would be really high. We have delivered a hit before. Audience would expect a lot from us. I hope with writers Subha and Suriya in my side, I can easily pull it off'. The latest buzz doing round in Kollywood is that Kajal Agarwal might play the female lead opposite Suriya in Mattran and is all set to go to floors very soon.

The name 'Harris Jeyaraj' has now become a euphimism for Music Director in Kollywood!

As on date he is the busiest music director in Kollywood. He has never done any remix songs or have done rework with another muscician's product.

He is the music director for the movie Nanban. Commenting about his work he said "I don't want to be labelled as a copy cat. Even though the movie Nanban is a remake, as a music director, I am not copying anything from its original 3 Idiots. "

Jeyaraj continued "Let it be a big or small budget movie. Let the movie be a replica of a super hit version in another language. By principle, I never copy others work and hence I never repeat a music from another movie. I never get influenced of the so called original version."

The much-awaited film from KV Anand starring Jiiva, Ajmal and Piaa Bajpai has yesteryear leading actress Radha's daughter Karthika playing the leading lady. The director who is very happy about his third film says “KO is Double Ayan”! referring the Surya starrer that propelled KV Anand and Ko to be twice as good!

With Harris Jayaraj’s music topping the charts, it is hoped, to repeat the success of Ayan which had some timeless numbers. Producer, RB Chowdhary of Super Good films will be releasing this movie simultaneously in Telugu as Rangam. This is a first for the production house and reflects the confidence the makers have in their film. Lets see what awaits this coming new year.
