India’s Reel World Entertainment has released a teaser for ‘Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies’.
This teaser offers a glimpse into the chaotic world of a film centered around the WWE-style wrestling culture of the southern Indian state of Kerala. Roshan Mathew (Busan Award winner ‘Paradise’) and Arjun Ashokan (‘Brahmayugam’) star in the lead roles, while the ensemble cast also includes Vishak Nehru (‘Officer on Duty’) and Ishan Shokath (‘Marco’).
Debutant director Advais Nayyar will helm the project while creative producer Sheehan Shokas will be helming it under the Reel World Entertainment banner along with Ritesh and Ramesh S. Ramakrishnan.
The film brought together a renowned technical staff including cinematographer Anend C. Chandran, action choreographer Kalai Kingson, lyricist Vinayak Sasikumar and composer Mujeeb Majeed. The script was written by Sanup Tikoodham and edited by Praveen Prabhakar.
In a significant twist for the film, renowned Bollywood composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy will make their Malayalam film debut on the soundtrack, with T-Series holding the music rights.
The film is being made in Malayalam and will be released in other Indian languages as well, securing a wide distribution network. In Kerala, Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films will handle the release. PVR Inox Pictures will be on board for distribution in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, while leading companies are reportedly in final talks for language rights for Telugu and Hindi. Plot Pictures will manage international distribution.
“We’ve spent the past two years building ‘Chatha Pacha’ from the ground up, and in that time it has grown from a sleazy underdog idea to a full-fledged world that we poured our hearts into creating,” said producer Cihan Shokas. “It’s loud, it’s chaotic, it’s full of emotion, it’s deeply rooted in the culture we love, but it’s also wild and genre-bending in a way that hopefully feels new.”
Roshan Mathew further added, “‘Chata Pacha’ is unlike anything I’ve ever made before. The best thing about it, and I think it applies to most of us who are a part of this film, is that it’s a really unique and crazy idea.”
