‘Lokah isn't coming to OTT anytime soon...’: Dulquer Salmaan addresses rumours

Actor-producer Dulquer Salmaan on Sunday clarified that the blockbuster film ‘Lokah – Chapter One: Chandra’ will not be released on OTT platforms anytime soon, countering reports circulating across various media outlets.

In an Instagram story, Dulquer wrote, "Lokah isn't coming to OTT anytime soon. Ignore the fake news and stay tuned for official announcements!" His response came in the wake of reports suggesting that the film was set to release on OTT platforms on a specific date.

Meanwhile, ‘Lokah’ continues to dominate the box office, becoming the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time and one of the highest-grossing Indian films featuring a female lead. Its mix of dark fantasy, superhero elements, and gripping storytelling has struck a chord with audiences, driving record-breaking ticket sales across Kerala and beyond.

Directed by Dominic Arun and produced by Dulquer under his banner Wayfarer Films, the film stars Kalyani Priyadarshan as Chandra, a mysterious woman who arrives in Bengaluru and becomes entangled in a gang involved in organ trafficking. Supporting performances include Naslen, Sandy Master, Arun Kurian, and Chandu Salimkumar, adding depth to the film’s high-stakes narrative.

The film also boasts numerous high-profile cameos. Anna Ben plays Anu, the ex-girlfriend of Sunny Wayne’s character Kadamattathu Kathanar, while Abraham Vadakkan appears as Anu’s boyfriend, Scaria. Sam Mohan portrays Johnny, a descendant of Kathanar, and Tovino Thomas appears as Chathan/Michael, a goblin. Dulquer Salmaan himself makes a cameo as Charlie, a sword-wielding ninja and member of the Odiyan clan.

Other notable appearances include Vishak Nair as a pub-goer, along with Soubin Shahir, Santhy Balachandran, Ahaana Krishna, Balu Varghese, and Vijay Menon in brief roles. Legendary actor Mammootty lends his voice to Moothon, while Nishanth Sagar portrays Prakash, Moothon’s aide.
