At this event
Actor Sandhu Salim Kumar spoke…
I don’t know what to say. First of all, thank you to my friend Dulquer Salmaan. Thank you to my friend director Dominic Arun. Thank you to all my co-stars like Kalyani and Nestle. Thank you to Mammootty sir, my forever best friend. Thank you to all of you who took this film to this level.
Dubbing supervisor RB Bala spoke..,
Thank you to director Dominic sir. Usually, it is a challenge when dubbing other language films. I have been in this industry for 30 years. Director Dominic is different, he said no to the dubbing I did first. He said he wanted a little more base and a Mani Ratnam style. I re-dubbed it completely and he liked it. I have worked with Dulquer before, he would ask me for a dialogue only once and finish it in one take. An actor who amazed me. What surprised me about this film was the cameraman, he did it to Hollywood standards. I have worked with Kalyani in Maraikayar, and he has impressed me in this film. Nazlen does even the smallest dialogues perfectly. He has so many emotions just by looking at it. This is the film that has given me the most satisfaction recently. Thanks to everyone. Especially thanks to the director.
Writer Shanthi Balachandran said…
It is a pleasure to be back in Chennai. We wanted to make a film that we ourselves would be happy to see, and now it is a pleasure to see everyone celebrating the film. I have been working with director Dominic for many years. It is a very happy experience to write with him. This idea was suggested by Dominic. He would talk very enthusiastically about setting a superhero in our land. He understood the vision and everyone worked hard. Thanks to the production team for supporting him. Now we have started writing even better for the next part. Thank you for the film.
Actor Arun Kurian said…
Thank you to the media friends. Thank you for celebrating the film Loka. This is a film close to my heart. This film is a big journey for us. It is a great success for this film. I am happy to see it receiving praise from everyone. Thank you to everyone.
Cinematographer Nimish Ravi said…,
Chennai is my second home. I studied Visual Communication here. I am happy to be back now. Dominic said it as a small idea, an independent film. It has grown and grown and now it has become a big one. We have developed it together and brought it to you. Thank you for your appreciation. Please take this film to more people. Thank you.
Anoop Kumar on behalf of Wayfarer Films said…,
This is our second film with AGS, thank you for taking this film to a big level. I am happy that everyone is celebrating the film. Thank you to everyone who worked on this film. Those who have not seen the film, please watch it in the theaters. Thank you.
Aishwarya spoke on behalf of AGS…,
Loka is my best theater experience film. We decided to release the film after watching the trailer. Thank you Dulquer Salmaan for joining us. The second part is also being prepared. He rocked the film Kalyani. We will give more good works through our company, thank you. The next parts of the film will also be coming out, thank you for your support.
Director Dominic Arun spoke…,
This journey has been a very long, sweet journey. It is a great honor to share our film with you. Thank you to everyone who has watched and appreciated our film. Thank you to everyone who is celebrating the film.
Hero Nazlen spoke…,
Thank you, I don’t know what to say, I am so happy. Things are happening in my life, things that I never imagined are happening. Suriya sir and Jyothika madam called in the morning and praised it. Many people are praising it, thank you to everyone. Thank you to everyone who has watched and appreciated our film.
Kalyani Priyadarshan spoke..,
I never thought I would get this much appreciation and reception. It is because of your support that I have achieved this much success. I have to thank a lot of people for this film. When I told my father that I was going to do action, he said, “Are you going to do action?” He said, “Take care of your feet and hands properly.” The film has collected 100 crores, and I am not the only one responsible for that. It is the work of the entire team. I cannot take credit alone. I thank everyone who has given this film so much appreciation.
Actor-producer Dulquer Salmaan said…
I did not act in this film, I have come as a teacher to gather the cows. No matter what language I make a film, if the film is shown to the press here, if the film is good, the press will immediately appreciate it and celebrate it, thank you. We started this on a small scale in Kerala and now we are getting appreciation from everywhere. Everyone who worked on this worked like a film, this success is for them. Except for Kalyani, no one else would have been set for this film. He started training the day after the story was told. He did better than we expected. Thanks to Bala sir for dubbing the film like a direct Tamil film. We did not expect this level of reception. We are planning to make the film in five parts. I have acted in so many films that I have not seen this much grace. We will make subsequent parts with respect for that. We will give more films like Loka. I never thought that I would be the only one acting under my banner, I love cinema so much, I am also producing films in which others act under my banner. Please give your support. Thanks to AGS for releasing the film. Thanks to everyone.
