Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra, headlined by Kalyani Priyadarshan, is running successfully in theatres. Lokah is registering tremendous growth in its third weekend, indicating how well the movie was received by the audience. The superhero entertainer is directed by Dominic Arun and produced by Dulquer Salmaan.

In an interview with Pink Villa, Dominic Arun was asked how he achieved high-quality output despite the film’s budget being just Rs. 30 crores. The director answered, “For approximately 1.5 to 2 years, we dedicated time to pre-production work. During that phase itself, we identified where we would have to spend more and where we could be more constrained.”

Dominic Arun added, “From the beginning, our team had detailed discussions. Everything was well-planned, and as a result, our thought process was to utilize technology to the best extent. I believe that having that time for prep work made it possible to achieve this quality on our budget.”
