Reel World Entertainment has released the character poster of Ishan Shoukath from its upcoming wrestling-based action entertainer Chatha Pacha. As the film gears up for its theatrical release on January 22, 2026, the makers are unveiling character posters that gradually introduce the film’s vibrant world and its key players.

Ishan Shoukath, who is familiar to Malayalam audiences through Marco, appears in Chatha Pacha in the role of Little, marking a striking new phase in his on-screen journey. The poster presents him in a rugged and intense avatar.

The film is produced by creative producer Shihan Shoukath along with Ritesh & Ramesh S. Ramakrishnan and Shoukath Ali, and is directed by debutant Adhvaith Nayar. Set against the backdrop of Kerala’s local wrestling culture, Chatha Pacha promises a high-energy blend of action, drama, and attitude.

Earlier, the film’s teaser and title track caught attention for their explosive energy and fresh visual language. Following that, each character poster released so far has sparked conversations online, steadily building anticipation around the film.

The film features a strong ensemble cast led by Arjun Ashokan, Roshan Mathew, and Vishak Nair, alongside Ishan Shoukath. Adding to the excitement, the recently released date announcement poster has further fuelled speculation, with fans reading subtle hints that suggest the presence of Mammootty in the film, a development that has significantly heightened curiosity.

On the music front, Chatha Pacha marks the Malayalam cinema debut of the legendary composer trio Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy. Lyrics are penned by Vinayak Sasikumar, with music rights held by T-Series. The background score is composed by Mujeeb Majeed. Cinematography is handled by Anend C. Chandran, action choreography by Kalai Kingson, editing by Praveen Prabhakar, and the screenplay is written by Sanoop Thykoodam.
Positioned as one of the first major Malayalam releases of 2026, Chatha Pacha is set to arrive in theatres on January 22, opening the cinematic year with scale, energy, and a powerful ensemble.
