National
Award-winning
actor
Bobby
Simhaa-starrer
Tamil
political
drama
Ko
2
is
off
to
a
flyer
at
the
Tamil
Nadu
box
office
where
it
has
collected
4.1
Crore
rupees
in
the
opening
weekend
(first
three
days).
"In
its
opening
weekend
in
Tamil
Nadu,
the
film
netted
Rs
4.1
crore
and
has
already
been
adjudged
a
hit.
The
political
season
in
the
state
has
worked
really
well
in
the
film's
favour," trade
analyst
Trinath
told
IANS.
It
is
worth
mentioning
that
we
had
predicted
that
the
film
might
collect
close
to
4.5
Crores
from
its
opening
weekend
in
Tamil
Nadu
alone.
Directed
by
Sarath
Babu,
the
film,
which
released
on
May
13
(Friday),
revolves
around
the
kidnapping
of
a
state's
Chief
Minister,
played
by
Prakash
Raj,
by
a
common
man
(Bobby
Simha).
Based
on
the
Telugu
film
Pratinidhi,
RS
Infotainment-produced
Ko
2
was
lauded
by
critics
and
audiences
alike
for
its
powerful
dialogues
and
music.
The
film
also
stars
Nikki
Galrani,
John
Vijay,
Bala
Saravanan
and
Illavarasan.
Meanwhile,
film-maker
Sarath
has
clarified
about
veteran
actor
Nassar's
brief
role
in
the
movie.
Nassar's
wife
Kameela
had
recently
expressed
disappointment
over
Nassar's
limited
screen
space
in
the
film.
"I
guess
Kameela
madam's
tweets
were
misinterpreted.
She
was
referring
to
the
calls
she
received
about
the
length
of
the
role
in
'Ko
2'.
Though
Nasser
sir's
role
is
brief,
the
story
of
the
film
is
about
his
character,
it
is
the
driving
element
of
the
entire
screenplay.
I
didn't
trim
even
a
single
frame
of
what
was
shot.
Only
a
person
of
his
stature
could
pull
off
that
role,
as
his
lines
needed
to
be
registered
in
the
audience's
mind,
for
the
main
story
and
its
sub
plots
to
work.
I
grew
up
watching
Nasser
sir's
movies
and
I
have
great
respect
for
him.
I
don't
see
it
as
a
controversy,
but
as
a
compliment.
People
noticed
a
lot
about
the
character
even
though
it
was
brief,"
he
has
told
to
Deccan
Chronicle.
