In Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, Tovino Thomas appeared in an extended cameo role as Chathan, a superpowered goblin. The character rescues the central protagonists of the movie and later makes an appearance in a post-credit scene as well.

The post-credit scene reveals that an expedition team of archaeologists, scientists, and a monk went missing. Only the monk returned, and he is now being questioned by Chathan. 

At this point, Chathan reveals that the person in the image might be one of his 389 siblings. The character’s extended appearance and the cliffhanger post-credit scene led to speculations that the sequel will focus on Tovino Thomas’ Chathan.

The Chathan character originates from the Kerala folklore of goblins, primarily found in Hindu tales of the Malabar region. Often appearing as adolescent boys in stories, they are known to cause great trouble to their victims.

Moreover, the film also includes a mid-credit scene featuring Dulquer Salmaan. The actor played the role of Charlie, a superpowered ninja. His character is inspired by the legend of Odiyan, a mythical clan from rural Kerala known for their shapeshifting abilities.
