Sources close to the unit of the film say that the team is currently shooting in Fort Kochi and that the schedule is for 60 days.

I'm thrilled to dive into this space with Chatha Pacha."
The film has triggered huge expectations, both among fans and film buffs for a number of reasons.

The film also marks a musical milestone, as acclaimed composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy make their
debut with the film's songs. The background score will be composed by Mujeeb Majeed, known for his work in Kishkindha Kaandam.
Set in the gritty, vibrant streets of Fort Kochi, the film revolves around a hidden WWE-style wrestling club and the quirky, emotional lives of those drawn into its chaotic universe. Described as a cultural crossover, Chatha Pacha aims to push the boundaries of traditional storytelling with its blend of high drama, physical action, and local flavour.

The story has been penned by Adhvaith Nayar, while the screenplay and dialogues have been written by Sanoop Thykoodam. Chatha Pacha has celebrated techniclike Anend C Chandran (Bheeshma Parvam, Premam) as cinematographer and Kalai Kingson, who earned acclaim for Marco, as stunt director.
Slated for release towards the end of 2025, the film, sources say, will blend high-energy wrestling sequences, humour, and a gripping underdog story. It will bring together the spectacle of pro-wrestling and the grounded storytelling of Malayalam cinema.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 Predictions: All Superstars who can Win in Day 1
Roman Reigns and Jey Uso (Image Source: Getty) This weekend in MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, WWE SummerSlam 2025 will kick off its historic two-night event. For the first time, the company's blockbuster summer show is being split over two days, a WrestleMania-style event. Day 1 establishes the mood for what is anticipated to be one of the all-time great SummerSlams and heated grudge matches. CM Punk eyes the World Heavyweight Championship The most anticipated match of the night, CM Punk challenges Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. Punk is the favorite to take home gold, having earned this spot by winning a gauntlet match earlier this month. And if he does win, it would pave the way for a coming showdown with a return-to-form Seth Rollins. For months, Gunther has been a powerhouse, but perhaps tonight is the night the reign ends. Tiffany Stratton vs. Jade Cargill could steal the show A confrontation of raw power and undeniable charisma, Jade Cargill challenges Tiffany Stratton for her Women's Championship. As one of the breakout stars of the year, Stratton hardly has an easy road, yet Cargill is being simultaneously booked to powerfully close the distance to hallowed ground. Stratton has the odds-on favorite to retain, but if WWE wants a change in the division, then Cargill can leave with the title. Roman Reigns and Jey Uso team up against the future Jey Uso joins Roman Reigns in returning to action in a tag team match against the intense pairing of Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Breakker and Reed are the future of WWE, but the prevailing wisdom is that the chemistry and main-event experience of Reigns and Uso will give them the win. It should be all four superstars working hard for this one, but expect the veterans to get the win here. All predicted winners for Night One of SummerSlam 2025 Here are the top predictions for Night One outcomes: CM Punk to defeat Gunther and become the new World Heavyweight Champion Tiffany Stratton to retain her Women's Championship, though it could go either way Roman Reigns & Jey Uso to overcome Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed Randy Orton & Jelly Roll to beat Logan Paul & Drew McIntyre in a celebrity-tag match Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss to win the Women's Tag Team Titles from Judgment Day Also Read: WWE SummerSlam 2025 Day 1 vs. Day 2: Which event day has more interesting matches? Night One has surprises, celebs, and rivalries a-plenty, high and low. Be it CM Punk's redemption story or Jade Cargill's coming-out party, the road to WrestleMania 41 starts here (likely). Buckle up, fans, because the first night of SummerSlam is going to light it up. For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here.
