About Lokah

Lokah marks the debut of Malayalam cinema’s first female superhero with Kalyani starring as Chandra, a powerful, mythology-inspired heroine navigating a modern world imbued with folklore and fantasy elements. Lokah is directed by Dominic Arun and produced by Dulquer Salmaan under Wayfarer Films.

The film was released in theatres on August 28, and opened to thunderous reviews and went on to perform exceedingly well at the box office. It is the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time, crossing the ₹300 crore mark worldwide. The film tells the story of the mysterious Chandra/Neeli (Kalyani), a yakshi/vampire who finds herself in trouble when she faces off an egotistic and misogynistic policeman named Nachiyappa (Sandy).

A few days after release, tha makers announced Lokah Chapter 2. It will be headlined by Tovino, who plays a chathan/goblin named Michael. Dulquer, who plays an odiyan/ninja named Charlie, might also be a part of it.
