Dominic Arun salary per movie in 2026 is estimated to be between ₹1.5 crore to ₹3 crore. Following the monumental success of Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra, which became a historic blockbuster in Malayalam cinema by crossing the ₹300 crore mark, Dominic Arun has ascended to the elite tier of Mollywood filmmakers. Known for his unique genre-bending style and technical finesse, he is now recognized as a visionary director capable of mounting large-scale cinematic universes. With Lokah: Chapter 2 starring Tovino Thomas expected to go on floors around December 2026, his market value is projected to climb further as the franchise scales up.
Before his recent breakthrough, Dominic was admired for his experimental debut Tharangam. However, his market value saw a significant spike in 2025-2026. For high-budget superhero projects or franchise installments like Lokah: Chapter 2, his remuneration is on par with top-tier hitmakers. His ability to blend commercial elements with experimental storytelling has made him a preferred choice for major production houses like Wayfarer Films. With the Lokah universe now confirmed to expand into at least four more chapters, Dominic’s fee is expected to see further upward revisions in the coming years.
