'Lokah' to release on OTT? Here's what Dulquer Salmaan said

While Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra is still running to packed houses in theatres across India, reports of the film's OTT release started circulating online, and many wondered if there was some truth to it. However, producer Dulquer Salmaan himself took to social media to clarify that the news is false. 

The actor, who also makes a special appearance in the film towards the end, wrote: "Lokah isn't coming to OTT anytime soon. Ignore the fake news and stay tuned for official announcements!" with the hashtag "WhatstheHurry".

Meanwhile, the Kalyani Priyadarshan-starrer has now surpassed Mohanlal's Empuraan as Malayalam cinema's highest grosser yet. Bankrolled by Dulquer's Wayfarer Films, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra has entered into its fourth weekend by claiming the ultimate Mollywood record. It is now the highest grossing Malayalam film worldwide, beating Empuraan.

After 23 days, the estimated worldwide collections of the film is around Rs 270 crore mark with the final figures yet to be received. However, the one thing that is clear is that Empuraan's worldwide gross of Rs 266 crore has been breached comfortably and it is now a question of where the film has landed at the end of Friday (September 19). Manjummel Boys (Rs 242 crore), Thudarum (Rs 234 crore) and 2018 (Rs 175 crore) are the other Mollywood films in the top-5 list.

Written and directed by Dominic Arun, with Santhy Balachandran as co-writer, the film was shot by Nimish Ravi. Vinesh Banglan handled the production design, while Chaman Chakko edited it.
