Tovino Thomas to lead sequel of Lokah?

The actor plays the popular character Chathan in this fantasy thriller, which had a theatrical release on August 28. Tovino had more screen time in Lokah than in other cameos, which gave his performance a mysterious air.

This is confirmed in the after-credit scene, where he is questioned by an individual over his involvement in the unexplained disappearance of a group of archaeologists who entered a cave. Additionally, the individual displays a photo of an unfathomable entity that resembles Tovino. He responds that more than 300 of his brothers share this appearance. This has heightened the curiosity for the sequel, implying that Tovino will play the main role. The mysterious person inside the cave, meanwhile, resembled the actor's character Maniyan from ARM (Ajayante Randam Moshanam), which is available for streaming on JioHotstar and OTTplay Premium. This comparison was made by fans and moviegoers. 

Many well-known Malayalam actors made brief appearances in Lokah: Chapter 1- Chandra, but little is known about their roles, relationship to Neeli, or the plot. Another important character with superhuman abilities is Dulquer Salmaan.

Who is Chathan?

The sacred folk god Chathan, additionally referred to as Chathan Swamy, is mostly worshipped in certain regions of Kerala. Chathan is frequently portrayed as a ferocious god who has both malicious and protective virtues. He has a special place in Hinduism and Malayalam mythology as a revered figure who is relied on for worshippers' wellbeing from evil forces and prosperity. Legends have multiple accounts of the origins of Chathan.
