The film also marks a significant musical crossover, with the legendary composer trio Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy making their debut in Malayalam cinema. The film's background score will be composed by Mujeeb Majeed, known for his atmospheric work in Kishkindha Kaandam. Crafted from an original story by Adhvaith Nayar, with screenplay and dialogues by Sanoop Thykoodam, Chatha Pacha aims to reimagine the traditional action-comedy by injecting it with raw, emotional stakes and grounded storytelling. Behind the camera, the film boasts a strong technical crew including cinematographer Anend C Chandran (Premam, Bheeshma Parvam) and stunt director Kalai Kingson, acclaimed for his work in Marco. Expected to release by the end of 2025, Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies could very well usher in a new genre hybrid for Malayalam cinema—where the emotional depth of the region's storytelling meets the flamboyant drama of wrestling entertainment.
