Tovino Thomas calls Lokah 2 his “biggest” challenge in career
Speaking with Sudhir Srinivasan on YouTube, Tovino Thomas said, “Lokah 2 is the biggest challenge of my career. The film has 389 versions of myself, but I don’t know how it will be shown. By the time all of them are introduced, the film might end up being just an introduction, and we may need Lokah 3 to tell the rest of the story. However, the basic skeleton of the script is ready, and we are in discussions.”
Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, starring Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen in lead roles, hit theatres earlier in 2025. Directed by Dominic Arun, the film follows the story of a mysterious woman, Chandra, who is brought from Sweden to Karnataka by a secret organization.
Living a quiet life in Bengaluru, she crosses paths with Sunny, a young man who develops feelings for her. However, as she becomes entangled in an organ-trafficking ring, her true identity is revealed, she is the mythical being Kalliyankattu Neeli.
Apart from the lead cast, the film features Sandy Master, Arun Kurian, Chandu Salim Kumar, Raghunath Paleri, Vijayaraghavan, and others in key roles.
The film also includes cameo appearances by Dulquer Salmaan, Sunny Wayne and Tovino Thomas, with Mammootty lending his voice to Moothon. The movie was well received by critics, particularly for its performances, visuals, and world-building.
With a sequel already announced featuring Tovino in the lead, the film is expected to go on floors in December 2026.
