Lokah, starring Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen, is gearing up for Onam release, though the makers are yet to confirm an exact date. It is produced by Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films.

Directed by Tharangam-fame Arun Dominic, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra is a fantasy adventure film, planned as the first instalment of a potential cinematic universe.

The film reportedly features some other star cameos, but the makers have not yet announced it.
