Still from Lokah
Actor Dulquer Salmaan on Wednesday released Thanilokah Murakkaari, the promo video song of director Dominic Arun's eagerly awaited woman superhero film Lokah - Chapter 1 - Chandra, featuring actress Kalyani Priyadarshan in the lead. It may be recalled that Dulquer Salmaan's production house, Wayfarer Films, is producing the superhero series. Dulquer took to his social media handles to share the link to the high-spirited, energetic number that spoke of the characteristics of the film's lead character, Chandra.
Lokah anthem unveiled
The actor wrote, "The Anthem of the Season is here! Thanilokah Murakkaari — out now." The song, which has been set to tune by music director Jakes Bejoy, has lyrics by Mu.Ri and has been rendered by Jyoti Nooran. The rap portions of the number have been written and performed by Reble. The song defines Chandra's character as "an alchemist flying solo." Chandra, we are told, is omnipresent, eternal and the pulse of all creation. The song then goes on to point out that Chandra sets her own rules and defies mortal laws. Interestingly, the song also describes the character as "someone from realms beyond and a heir to a fallen world."
