The makers of the Kalyani Priyadarshan-starrer Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra have announced that the Hindi dubbed version of the fantasy spectacle will hit theatres on September 4. The update was shared alongside the launch of the film’s Hindi trailer.
The Malayalam original, featuring Kalyani as the titular lead, released on August 28 and has already crossed the Rs 100 crore mark at the global box office, setting a new benchmark for female-led South Indian cinema. Directed by Arun Dominic and produced by Dulquer Salmaan under the Wayfarer Films banner, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra is positioned as the first instalment in a five-part fantasy franchise inspired by Kerala’s folklore.
The film features Naslen alongside Kalyani, with supporting performances from Chandu Salimkumar and Arun Kurian, while Tamil actor-choreographer Sandy appears as the antagonist. Actor Santhy Balachandran contributed to the additional screenplay and dramaturgy.
With its Hindi release, the makers are aiming to expand the film’s reach beyond the South Indian market, building on the strong response to its Malayalam version. The dubbed versions in Telugu and Tamil are also pulling in sizeable crowds.
