Developed by creative producer Shihan Shoukath along with producers Ritesh and Ramesh S. Ramakrishnan, the film began as a story rooted in Kerala’s wrestling culture and street milieu. Following the strong response to its teaser—which was released in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada—the project quickly expanded in scale, gaining traction across multiple regions.

What followed was a wave of high-profile alliances - Dharma Productions will handle distribution in Hindi-speaking markets, marking its first significant association with a Malayalam film. Mythri Movie Makers will oversee Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, while PVR INOX Pictures will distribute the film in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. In Kerala, Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films will manage the release, and The Plot Pictures will take the film to over 100 countries as part of its international rollout.

The film also marks the Malayalam debut of composer trio Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, with T-Series acquiring the music rights. Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies features Arjun Ashokan, Roshan Mathew, Vishak Nair and Ishan Shoukath. The technical crew includes Anend C. Chandran as cinematographer, with additional cinematography by Jomon T. John and Sudeep Elamon. Other key contributors include Ronex Xavier (makeup), Melwy J (costumes), Kalai Kingson (action), Vinayak Sasikumar (lyrics), Mujeeb Majeed (score), Sanoop Thykoodam (screenplay) and Praveen Prabhakar (editing).

With production now complete and post-production underway, the film is slated to release in January 2026 in Malayalam, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Tamil.
