Kalyani Priyadarshan’s Superhero Film Lokah: Chapter 1 Chandradirected by Dominic Arun, released in theatres on August 28. The movie is creating a rampage at the worldwide box office.
In a recent interview, director Dominic Arun revealed that Chandra is the least powerful superhero in the Lokah universe. This revelation has triggered a heated debate on social media.
Some fans are celebrating the news. They believe Lokah’s success will give actors like Dulquer Salman and Tovino Thomas a massive platform in the upcoming films of the franchise.
Others see this as a warning sign of saturation for the promising franchise. They fear that as more films are made, male stars may dominate the spotlight, making the stories overly commercial.
Critics argue this happened with the popular HIT movie franchise, which lost its original freshness after early successes. They worry the same fate could await Lokah if not handled carefully.
Fans are urging Dominic Arun not to dilute the core plot of the Lokah universe. They want him to preserve the unique flavour of Chandra even if superstars are cast in future parts.
Dominic Arun’s remarks have now gone viral online, with social media buzzing with responses and discussions.
