The Telugu audience in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana is in for a wild ride next Sankranti. Mythri Movie Makers, the powerhouse behind blockbusters like Pushpa and RRR, has acquired the Telugu-dubbed rights of the upcoming Malayalam film Chatha Pacha – Ring of Rowdies. Billed as Malayalam cinema’s first full-fledged WWE-inspired action-comedy, the movie is gearing up for a massive pan-India release across five languages in January 2026.

A Never-Before Concept in Mollywood

Directed by debutant Advait Nair, Chatha Pacha – Ring of Rowdies brings the larger-than-life energy of professional wrestling into a desi comedy setting. Imagine colorful characters, over-the-top ring entrances, signature moves, trash-talking promos, and chair-smashing chaos – all wrapped in pure Malayalam flavor with a heavy dose of humor. Industry insiders say this is the boldest and most entertaining experiment Malayalam cinema has attempted in recent years.

Star Power and Top-Notch Technical Crew

While the complete cast is still under wraps, early reports suggest a mix of established Malayalam stars and popular comedians leading the pack. What has already created massive buzz is the music department – the legendary trio Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy is composing the soundtrack. Expect high-octane background scores that match the wrestling ring intensity and foot-tapping mass numbers that will dominate reels and caller tunes.

Mythri Movie Makers Bets Big on the Telugu Version

Known for picking only sure-shot winners, Mythri Movie Makers grabbing the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana rights speaks volumes about the film’s commercial potential. The production house is planning an aggressive promotional campaign with larger-than-life posters featuring wrestlers in lungis and mundus, dramatic first-look teasers, and possibly even live wrestling events as part of the pre-release buzz.

Five-Language Release for Pan-India Domination

Chatha Pacha – Ring of Rowdies will hit screens simultaneously in Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Hindi in the second week of January 2026 – perfectly timed for the Sankranti/Pongal holiday weekend. With the universal appeal of wrestling entertainment and Mythri’s strong distribution network in the Telugu states, the film is expected to open big and enjoy a long theatrical run.

Why This Could Be the Surprise Sankranti Winner

In a season traditionally dominated by mass heroes and high-voltage dramas, Chatha Pacha offers something refreshingly different – unadulterated fun. It combines the nostalgia of WWE superstars we grew up watching with the trademark wit and timing of Malayalam comedy. Add Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy’s magic and Mythri’s marketing muscle, and you have all the ingredients for a knockout family entertainer.

Mark your calendars – January 2026 is when the ring comes to town, and the rowdies are ready to rumble!
