Production

Lokah Chapter: 1 Chandra is the seventh production venture of Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films. It is intended as the beginning of a full-fledged Malayalam superhero cinematic universe titled Lokah, a project being mounted on a large scale with a possibility of multiple chapters. Dulquer Salmaan aims to build an indigenous cinematic universe rooted in local culture, folklore, and mythology.

The film is written and directed by Dominic Arun, known for Tharangam (2017). Dominic Arun revealed that the idea for the film was discussed as early as 2020 and developed organically, emphasizing that creating a female superhero was not a deliberate attempt to break the mold. Santhy Balachandran has contributed to the additional screenplay and dramaturgy.

The film's pre-production began on 12 September 2024, and the principal photography commenced with a muhurat pooja ceremony on the same day under the working title Production No: 7, marking Priyadarshan's first film with Naslen and her second film with Dulquer Salmaan's production company. Filming wrapped by 30 January 2025. Shooting lasted for 94 days.
