Lokah: Chapter 1 \u2013 Chandra introduced a character called Moothon, voiced by Mammootty. Here’s what Dominic Arun says about it.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Dominic Arun\u2019s Lokah: Chapter 1 \u2013 Chandra might have introduced Kalyani Priyadarshan<\/a> as a yakshi (vampire) named Neeli\/Chandra, but the superhero universe has a lot more in store. Apart from Dulquer Salmaan and Tovino Thomas\u2019 cameos as an odiyan (shapeshifter) named Charlie and a goblin named Chathan, respectively, the film also saw Mammootty voice Moothon \u2013 the leader of these superheroes. In an interview <\/a>with Pinkvilla, Dominic reveals whether the audience will see Mammootty in future films.<\/p>\n

\"Mammootty's Mammootty’s Moothon is a leader of superheroes in Dominic Arun’s Lokah. Dominic Arun reveals if Mammootty will return to Lokah<\/p>\n

Dominic revealed that while discussing the story, he told Dulquer, who produced the film, that it would be his wish to see Mammootty as Moothon. When he got the chance to narrate the story, the Malayalam star initially said he would \u2018think about it\u2019. It\u2019s only after shooting was wrapped up that the actor saw a cut of the film and agreed to dub for the character.<\/p>\n

However, despite Moothon being an important part of the Lokah universe, Dominic isn\u2019t sure if Mammootty will play the role. He said, \u201cI believe Mammootty sir still needs a lot more convincing if he is to continue playing Moothon in future films.\u201d While the character won\u2019t be seen in the next part, which will be headlined by Tovino<\/a>\u2019s Chathan, Dominic says the leader will return for future films.<\/p>\n

Talking about the character\u2019s return, he said, \u201cNot the next one, but down the line, we will get to see him in his full potential. Moothon is like the prime character in the universe, and like everyone else, I too hope it\u2019ll happen with Mammukka.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Lokah: Chapter 1 \u2013 Chandra<\/p>\n

Lokah is directed by Dominic and produced by Dulquer under Wayfarer Films; it is part of a planned five-film franchise. It has crossed the \u20b9200 crore mark worldwide, becoming the first female-led film<\/a> in Malayalam to do so. It is also one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films ever made. <\/p>\n

Lokah tells the story of Chandra (Kalyani) moving to India on Moothon\u2019s orders. Her neighbour Sunny (Naslen) falls for her at first sight, only to realise there\u2019s more to her. The misogynistic Inspector Nachiyappa Gowda (Sandy) is hot on their heels as they find themselves embroiled with an organ trafficking ring.<\/p>\n
