Dulquer Salmaan Kickstarts Kerala’s First Superhero Franchise With Lokah – Chapter One: Chandra

Kalyani Priyadarshan makes a striking debut as a superhero in the poster, signaling a bold new direction in her career. With a war-torn landscape behind her, she emanates quiet power and fierce determination. Naslen K. Gafoor’s brooding presence amidst the battlefield adds layers of tension to what promises to be a gripping, high-stakes drama.

Far from being just another fantasy-action film, Lokah – Chapter One: Chandra is envisioned as the foundation of an expansive cinematic universe based on Malayalam culture, folklore, and mythology. It is Dulquer Salmaan’s seventh production with Wayfarer Films and his boldest project yet.

Dulquer took to Instagram to reveal the stunning Lokah poster with the message, “Lokah is here, a world where legends are real. Chapter One: Chandra. #Lokah #BuildingWorlds #TheyLiveAmongUs Follow for updates.”

While details about the cast and plot remain a secret, Lokah signals a new direction for Dulquer as a producer and for Malayalam cinema, which has rarely ventured into superhero themes. This project places Dulquer among Indian filmmakers striving to craft indigenous cinematic universes that honor local traditions while appealing to worldwide audiences.

The buzz around Lokah is growing rapidly among fans and insiders. Boasting a grand scale and an all-star cast, this project aims to launch Malayalam cinema’s first interconnected superhero universe.

The filming of Lokah – Chapter One: Chandra is anticipated to start soon, with more details coming in the near future.
