About the Film

Produced by Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films and directed by Dominic Arun, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra features Kalyani Priyadarshan in a superhero role. The film stars Kalyani Priyadarshan as Chandra/Neeli, a mysterious yakshi-vampire, alongside Naslen, Sandy, Arun Kurian, and Chandu Salim Kumar. Dulquer Salmaan, who produced the film under Wayfarer Films, makes a cameo, along with Tovino Thomas, Anna Ben, Soubin Shahir, and Santhy Balachandran.
