Dulquer Salmaan on Lokah\u2019s success<\/p>\n

Dulquer Salmaan produced Lokah Chapter 1 \u2013 Chandra under his production house, Wayfarer Films. In a success meet held in Hyderabad on Wednesday, the actor reflected how none of the films he had acted in received the kind of response Lokah got. <\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWe are still trying to process what is happening. For us, Lokah was something always very intimate; it almost felt like a very expensive indie film. We had to get Jakes (Bejoy) to commercialise it. But the way it\u2019s just blown up and everywhere in the country, I have done 40 plus movies, and I have not experienced this as a hero for any of my films. Thank you to the audiences for accepting Lokah\u201d<\/p>\n

Lokah tells the story of a mysterious Chandra (Kalyani<\/a>) who is summoned back to India by the leader she follows, Moothon (voiced by Mammootty). Naslen plays her love interest and neighbour, Sunny, while Sandy plays the antagonist, Inspector Nachiyappa.<\/p>\n
