*India’s Biggest Banners Power the Rise of ‘Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies’*

Reel World Entertainment’s audacious Malayalam spectacle transcends boundaries as Dharma Productions, Mythri Movie Makers, PVR INOX, Wayfarer Films, and T Series join forces.

Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies, mounted by Reel World Entertainment, has now become a full-blown industry event. Backed by some of India’s most influential banners and distributors- Dharma Productions, Mythri Movie Makers, PVR INOX, and Wayfarer Films – the film marks a historic collaborative moment for Malayalam cinema, with The Plot Pictures extending the film’s reach internationally.

The project is powered by Creative Producer Shihan Shoukath who also serves as the producer alongside Ritesh and Ramesh S.Ramakrishnan, together forming the founding team behind Reel World Entertainment.

What began as a fiery Malayalam story rooted in Kerala’s street energy and the charisma of wrestling culture has now evolved into a cinematic phenomenon; the one that’s breaking language barriers and reimagining the scale of Malayalam cinema. After its electrifying teaser set social media ablaze which was praised for its raw, kinetic visuals has now evolved into one of the country’s most hotly anticipated releases.

The teaser, full of grit, colour, and unfiltered energy, has already travelled far beyond Malayalam-speaking audiences. Released simultaneously in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada, it found traction across languages within hours of its drop, sparking discussion among film circles across India.

What followed the film’s roaring teaser was a wave of powerhouse alliances that now define its journey to release. Backing the film is an unprecedented line-up of heavyweights.

Dharma Productions, one of India’s most celebrated banners, takes charge of the Hindi-speaking markets, marking its first major association with Malayalam cinema. Mythri Movie Makers, the powerhouse behind Pushpa, drives distribution across Andhra and Telangana, while PVR INOX Pictures, India’s biggest multiplex distributor, extends its reach to Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. In Kerala, Wayfarer Films, Dulquer Salmaan’s banner known for championing dynamic, new-age content, steers the home-ground release. And beyond borders, The Plot Pictures takes Chatha Pacha global, charting an international release in over 100 countries. Now, with India’s most powerful production houses rallying behind it, the film’s trajectory looks nothing short of explosive.

The project also marks the Malayalam debut of the legendary composer trio Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, which has already become a talking point. The music rights rest with T-Series, adding musical firepower to the already star-studded project.

The film stars Arjun Ashokan, Roshan Mathew, Vishak Nair, and Ishan Shoukath, each bringing explosive energy to the screen, with a stellar technical team featuring Anend C. Chandran (Cinematography), Jomon T. John (Additional Cinematography), Sudeep Elamon (Additional Cinematography), Ronex Xavier (Makeup), Melwy J (Costume Design), Kalai Kingson (Action), Vinayak Sasikumar (Lyrics), Mujeeb Majeed (Score), Sanoop Thykoodam (Screenplay), and Praveen Prabhakar (Editing).

With its ever-expanding alliances and a teaser that continues to trend across languages, Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies is becoming a statement that Malayalam cinema is ready to take centre stage in the pan-Indian arena. Now wrapped and racing through post-production, the buzz only gets louder as the film gears up for a thunderous January 2026 release in Malayalam, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Tamil.
