The casting looks interesting but I hope they don't make it too Hollywood-style. Indian superhero stories should have our own cultural elements and storytelling style. Fingers crossed! 🤞

DQ is really pushing boundaries with his production house. From content-driven films to now superhero genre - what a range! Excited for both Lokah and Kaantha next year.

The teaser was quite intriguing! Kalyani's intense look gives me chills. Hope the VFX and action sequences match international standards. Indian cinema needs more strong female leads like this.

Onam 2025 release? That's quite far away! Hope they maintain the hype till then. The supporting cast with Chandu Salimkumar and Naslen looks promising for some comic relief amidst the action.

As much as I appreciate new attempts, I hope the storyline is original and not just copying Western superhero tropes. Malayalam cinema is known for its unique storytelling - hope this maintains that standard.

Chapter 1 suggests there's a bigger universe planned! Smart move by DQ to build a franchise. If executed well, this could be Kerala's answer to Marvel/DC. All the best to the entire team! 💫
