After creating a buzz in theaters, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra is now making headlines for its digital release. While audiences are eagerly waiting to know where they can stream the Malayalam superhero film, reports suggest that Netflix could be the OTT platform to bag the rights. However, the production team has not yet made an official announcement.
Lokah Chapter 1 Chandra OTT Release Update
According to Indiatimes, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra will reportedly be available on Netflix after its theatrical run. This aligns with Dulquer Salmaan’s previous productions such as Kurup and Maniyarayile Ashokan, which also premiered on Netflix. Still, fans will have to wait for an official confirmation from the makers regarding the final OTT partner and release date.
Star Cast and Performances
The film stars Kalyani Priyadarshan as Chandra, marking one of the first female superhero roles in Indian cinema. She is joined by Naslen in the lead role, bringing humor and energy to the narrative. The supporting cast includes Arun Kurian, Chandu Salimkumar, Nishanth Sagar, Raghunath Paleri, Vijayaraghavan, Nithya Shri, and Sarath Sabha, each contributing to the world of Lokah.
Kalyani Priyadarshan on Dulquer Salmaan’s Vision
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, Kalyani Priyadarshan praised Dulquer Salmaan, the producer of the film, for backing such a unique project.
She said, “You need to appreciate that we have people like Dulquer backing such a film. Not only is it very different; it also takes a lot of courage to spend so much time and money on a film like Lokah. I’m not sure if such subjects are being discussed in other industries but it’s because of people like him that it’s being made in Malayalam. He’s a real risk-taker and if you look at his parents and mine, they were risk-takers too. That matters.”
Expanding Malayalam Cinema’s Horizons
With Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, Malayalam cinema has ventured into the superhero genre, blending fantasy with emotional drama. Director Arun has been praised for presenting a gripping story supported by strong VFX and cinematography. Dulquer’s production vision, paired with Kalyani’s performance, has set the stage for potential sequels in the Lokah universe.
Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra continues to run in theaters, and the OTT announcement is expected soon. Until then, speculation about Netflix as its streaming partner keeps fans excited about watching the film again from the comfort of their homes.
