Remo (film)

Remo is a 2016 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan in his directorial debut. It was produced by R. D. Raja under 24AM Studios, his first film as producer, and stars Sivakarthikeyan and Keerthy Suresh, with Sathish, Rajendran, Aadukalam Naren, K. S. Ravikumar and Saranya Ponvannan in supporting roles. The story follows an aspiring actor who disguises himself as a female nurse, both to test his acting skills and to win the heart of a doctor he loves. P. C. Sreeram was the cinematographer, Ruben the editor and Resul Pookutty the sound designer, and Anirudh Ravichander composed the songs and score. The film was released worldwide on 7 October 2016, during the Dusshera holidays, and drew mostly positive reviews for Sivakarthikeyan's makeover, the music and the comedy, though it was later criticised for its treatment of stalking. It received three Filmfare Awards South nominations and five nominations at the 6th South Indian International Movie Awards, and was remade in Odia as Sister Sridevi (2017).
