Khalid Al Ameri to Star in Indian WWE-Inspired Film ‘Chatha Pacha’

Emirati influencer Khalid Al Ameri is officially stepping into the world of Indian cinema with a cameo in the upcoming Malayalam-language film 'Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies'. Set for release in late 2025, the film is a WWE-style wrestling drama shot in the coastal city of Kochi, and promises both brawls and laughs.

While Khalid brings his signature charm, the film is also musically stacked: Bollywood’s iconic trio Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy are making their Malayalam debut with the soundtrack, alongside a score by Mujeeb Majeed.

Directed by newcomer Advaith Nayar, nephew of Malayalam legend Mohanlal, and creatively led by Cannes-winning producer Shihan Shoukath, the film stars Arjun Ashokan, Roshan Mathew, Vishak Nair, and Ishan Shoukath. Khalid kept things cryptic on social, sharing behind-the-scenes peeks from set before the producers confirmed he’s part of the ring lineup.
