Kalyani Priyadarshan, the lead actress of Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, feels honored that her film has sparked conversations among audiences and critics alike. The Malayalam film, which became India's first female superhero film and the highest-grossing film in the language, has made its digital release recently. In an interview, Priyadarshan attributed the growing love for the superhero genre in India to the country's affinity for stories about heroes who defy gravity and achieve the impossible. She believes that the Malayalam industry's shift towards realism has led to a greater emphasis on the superhero genre. Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra was a departure from traditional Indian films, and Priyadarshan was cautious not to be compared to international blockbusters like Avengers. However, she is pleased that the film has been compared favorably to international films, despite having a significantly lower budget. Looking ahead, Priyadarshan hopes to explore other genres, including comedy, which her father Priyadarshan is known for. She recognizes that she needs to prove herself in this genre and is eager to learn and grow as an actress.
