Find the Release Date and Latest Updates of Chatha Pacha Movie
Reel World Entertainment’s wrestling-based action entertainer locks its theatrical release for January 22 with the much-discussed Mammootty buzz now amplified by a release date poster that seems to say it all.
Reel World Entertainment’s wrestling-infused action entertainer has officially locked January 22, 2026, as its theatrical release date, setting the tone for how Malayalam cinema begins the year. Loud, kinetic, and bursting with charisma, Chatha Pacha is all set to storm theatres.
The release date poster of Chatha Pacha, dominated by raw gold tones, flying currency, roaring crowds, and a wrestler frozen mid-air, captures a moment of controlled chaos. Yet, amid all this spectacle, what truly commands attention is the phrase “IN CINE‘M’AS,” where the “M” stands tall, deliberately highlighted. This visual emphasis subtly but decisively steers the gaze toward the unmistakable aura of actor extraordinaire Mammootty, a name synonymous with towering screen presence and cinematic gravitas.
Set against a wrestling ring that celebrates strength, authority, and mass appeal, the suggestion of Mammootty’s presence feels instinctively right. What makes the moment even more charged is the buzz that had already been building around Chatha Pacha, with one speculation dominating the conversation ‘the possibility of Mammootty’s appearance.’ Fans and audiences had been actively predicting his association with the film, and the release date poster now reads like confirmation for this. In a film already brimming with intensity and swagger, this powerful nod adds scale and weight, lifting Chatha Pacha beyond the space of a conventional action entertainer and positioning it as a true cinematic event in recent Malayalam cinema.
At its core, the film taps into the raw and visceral world of Kerala’s wrestling culture, drawing from the colourful chaos of Fort Kochi. Backed by creative producer Shihan Shoukath, with producers Ritesh & Ramesh S. Ramakrishnan and Shoukath Ali, the film marks the directorial debut of Adhvaith Nayar. It unfolds a world of bravado, brotherhood, rivalry, and humour, shaped by sweat, spectacle, and street-smart swagger.
The theatrical release of Chatha Pacha is being powered by some of the most influential names in Indian cinema today. The Kerala release is anchored by Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films. PVR INOX Pictures handles Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, while Mythri Movie Makers, the powerhouse behind films like Pushpa, takes charge in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In North India, Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions brings its formidable distribution strength to the table. Internationally, The Plot Pictures is set to take the film to audiences across nearly 100 countries, giving this story a truly global reach.
On the technical front, the film is backed by a formidable crew. One of its biggest highlights is the legendary composer trio Shankar Ehsaan Loy, who make their Malayalam cinema debut with Chatha Pacha, delivering a soundscape that is as punchy and playful as the world the film inhabits. Lyrics are penned by Vinayak Sasikumar, with music rights held by T-Series, adding another strong layer to the film’s identity. The background score is composed by Mujeeb Majeed. Cinematography is handled by Anend C. Chandran, while action choreography is led by Kalai Kingson. Editing is by Praveen Prabhakar, and the screenplay is written by Sanoop Thykoodam.
The film features an ensemble cast led by Arjun Ashokan, Roshan Mathew, and Vishak Nair, along with several prominent actors from the industry, each stepping into sharply defined roles that drive the narrative forward.
Positioned as one of the first major releases of 2026, Chatha Pacha is not just opening the calendar, but also shaping up as a riotous, rousing celebration that brings Indian cinema together under one roaring roof. January 22 signals the starting bell for a year that promises louder, bolder Malayalam cinema with a strong pan-Indian presence.
The bell rings on January 22.The ring is ready. And so are the rowdies.
