Summary
- Basil Joseph was initially considered for Lokah Chapter One.
- Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen felt intense anxiety before release.
- The film's standout interval scene was created during editing.
Actor Kalyani Priyadarshan disclosed that Basil Joseph was initially slated to be part of her film, Lokah Chapter One. Joseph not only knew about the project early but also championed Priyadarshan's involvement. Despite his eventual inability to join the cast due to scheduling issues, he expressed optimism about future installments.
The journey to Lokah Chapter One's release was fraught with nervousness for Priyadarshan and co-star Naslen. Their anxiety persisted until midday on release day, when positive reviews began to emerge, easing their concerns. This shift allowed them to consider the possibility of watching the film in a theater.
A significant element, the film's interval block, was developed during the editing process and was not part of the initial script. Priyadarshan credited director Dominic Arun's vision and the trust among the cast and crew as crucial to the film's success. Lokah Chapter One has since achieved global box office success, surpassing Rs 300 crore.
