Sharaf U Dheen on Lokah franchise
The actor stated that he is happy and proud of seeing the huge success of Lokah: Chapter 1-Chandra, just like any other Malayali. He continued by saying that he would love to be a part of this franchise, just like any other Malayalam artiste. "There will be four or five films in this franchise, correct? If the producers ever get in touch with me, I would be thrilled to play a part in it. I even have a particular character in my mind. But since it would obviously ruin the suspense, I won't tell you now," he quipped.
Sharaf U Dheen went on to say that he would prefer to portray something distinctive in the franchise rather than a hero with superpowers. He most recently acted alongside Sandeep Pradeep and Suraj Venjaramoodu in Padakkalam, another Malayalam fantasy film. JioHotstar and OTTplay Premium offer streaming access to the film.
