‘Lokah Chapter 1’ has undoubtedly become one of the most successful films of 2025. The movie is now gearing up for its OTT release, but it has not arrived online yet. Kalyani Priyadarshan-starrer is confirmed to release on JioHotstar, but the official release date has not been announced.
Fans have been eagerly waiting to see ‘Lokah Chapter 1′ on OTT and were hoping that the film would arrive online on Diwali 2025. See the netizens’ speculations regarding the film’s OTT release.
Naslen, Arun Kurian, Chandu Salimkumar, Nishanth Sagar, Raghunath Paleri, Vijayaraghavan, Nithya Shri and Sarath Sabha are in supporting roles.
While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, Dulquer revealed, “Her dad didn’t expect it. He was like, ‘What were you thinking? Why would you take this bet? I told him honestly — I didn’t know. I just believed in the idea. It felt right. My dad (veteran actor Mammootty) was worried too. They all thought we were a little mad, but they’re very proud now.”
Kalyani added, “The first message he sent me after everything blew up was, ‘Don’t let success get to your head and don’t let failure get to your heart.’ He says it often, but this time he sent it as a reminder, and he keeps reminding me every day. That’s what I hold on to.”
In another interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Kalyani Priyadarshan praised Dulquer Salmaan for creating a project like ‘Lokah’. She said, “You need to appreciate that we have people like Dulquer backing such a film.”
“Not only is it very different; it also takes a lot of courage to spend so much time and money on a film like Lokah. I’m not sure if such subjects are being discussed in other industries, but it’s because of people like him that it’s being made in Malayalam. He’s a real risk-taker, and if you look at his parents and mine, they were risk-takers too. That matters,” she added.
Lokah Chapter 2 has also been announced, with Tovino Thomas in the lead role.
