By now, the presence of Tovino Thomas in Lokah: Chapter 1 - Chandra is no longer a secret, since the makers earlier shared publicity stills of not only the actor's role as the goblin/chathan but also of Dulquer's Charlie aka Odiyan — a contemporary spin on two familiar figures from Kerala folklore.
It was hinted at the climax of the Kalyani Priyadarshan-led film that at least Michael aka Chathan will take center stage in the next insallment of the blockbuster directed by Dominic Arun and co-written by him and Santhy Balachandran.
Now, the team has officially confirmed the next chapter, with a three-minute short film featuring Tovino as Michael and Dulquer as Charlie, titled 'When Legends Chill'.
Lokah: Chapter 2 is expected to show events with reference to "the 300+ siblings" that was mentioned in Lokah. The events are eventually connect to events in the third or possibly more entries. "The entire cinematic universe is leading to a certain conclusion, and the sequel film about the Chaathan will explore more about it, acting as the next step towards it," said Dominic in a recent interview with Pinkvilla.
Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra breached the Rs 100 crore mark in its fourth weekend in Kerala, becoming only the second Malayalam film ever to reach this landmark and still seems to have fuel left in the tank.
In the same weekend, the film went past Empuraan's worldwide gross of Rs 266 crore to become the new Industry Hit of Mollywood. After 25 days, the worldwide gross has touched Rs 275 crore and it seems to be on track to become the industry's first Rs 300 crore grosser worldwide.
