The makers of Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen's Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra unveiled a new poster on Sunday. It depicts Naslen in a yellow jacket walking cheerfully beside a serious-looking Kalyani, dressed in a black and red jacket. Both are in joggers, moving along a neon-lit modern urban walkway.
Written and directed by Tharangam-fame Dominic Arun, the upcoming film is scheduled for an Onam release and is produced by Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films. Billed as a fantasy entertainer on a scale that appears ambitious for Malayalam cinema, it will have dubbed versions in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi.
A teaser of Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra released earlier promised a mix of futuristic, mystical and dystopian settings, while introducing Kalyani’s character Chandra as a potential superhero. Actor Santhy Balachandran has contributed to the additional screenplay and dramaturgy. The technical crew includes cinematographer Nimish Ravi, editor Chaman Chakko, composer Jakes Bejoy and National Award-winning production designer Banglan.
Action sequences are choreographed by Yannick Ben, known for his work in The Family Man, Jawan, Maaveeran, and Citadel: Honey Bunny. He made his Malayalam debut earlier this year with the Tovino Thomas–Trisha film Identity.
