Wayfarer Films reveals Lokah Chapter 2 starring Tovino Thomas as Chaatan, directed by Dominic Arun in the expanding superhero universe.

"Beyond myths. Beyond legends. A new chapter begins. - Wayfarer Films"

Thiruvananthapuram, September 27

After the resounding success of 'Lokah Chapter 1', the makers have announced the sequel of the film on Saturday.

Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films, the official production studio of the film, gave fans the first glimpse of 'Lokah Chapter 2' by sharing a video titled 'When Legends Chill: Michaek x Charlie'. The movie is expected to centre around Tovino Thomas's character, Chaatan, in the film.

The film's teaser features a playful conversation between Tovino and Dulquer Salmaan, who was previously introduced as Odiyan in a social media post.

At one point, Tovino jokes with Dulquer, asking, "Why don't you call me once in a while -- in 50 years or even 100 years?"

The banter continues as Tovino mentions that his brother is out now, unlike him, and could be violent.

He then asks Dulquer if he would come to help if called upon, to which Dulquer promptly says no.

The light-hearted exchange ends with a brief glimpse of the much-anticipated second part of the 'Lokah' universe.

The sequel will be directed by Domic Arjun and will star Tovino Thomas in the lead role.

Taking to his X handle, Wayfarer Films wrote, "Beyond myths. Beyond legends. A new chapter begins. #LokahChapter2 Starring Tovino Thomas. Written & Directed by Dominic Arun. Produced by Wayfarer Films."

The brother reference in the teaser has me intrigued! Is there going to be a villain version of Chaatan? Brilliant storytelling by Dominic Arun. Malayalam cinema supremacy continues! 🙌

Just watched the teaser - the production quality looks amazing! Indian cinema needs more such universe-building projects. Hope this inspires other regional industries too.
