Chettayees: Lovable Rascals is a 2012 Malayalam comedy film written by Sachy and directed by Shajoon Kariyal. The film is produced under the banner of Thakkaali Films, a production house launched by a group of friends – actors Biju Menon and Suresh Krishna, cinematographer P. Sukumar, writer Sachy, and director Shajoon Kariyal.
The film tells the story of friendship. The story is centered on an eventful New Year celebration of five friends and the sequence of events following it in the next few days. It stars Lal, Biju Menon, Suresh Krishna, P. Sukumar, Sunil Babu and Miya in pivotal roles.
The whole story happens over two days, when five friends get together to celebrate New Year's Eve. The friends are John (Lal) a lawyer, Kichu (Biju Menon) a percussionist, Roopesh Krishna (Suresh Krishna) an actor, Bava (P. Sukumar) a chef and Babumon (Sunil Babu) a government employee. They are having a blast at John's apartment on the last day of the year. John, who is not in good terms with the apartment association goes to the new year party and ruins the party. The apartment owners who were looking for a way of taking vengeance, finds that a lady was staying at their apartment overnight and calls the police to charge them against immoral trafficking.
The girl turns out to be Merlin (Miya George), the wife of Kichu who was there to spoil her husband's New Year party. She was unhappy about the friendship of John and Kichu and was upset that Kichu spends more time with John than her. After the police leaves, John and Kichu ends up in a fight and they both part their ways. It turns out that John acted that way to rebuild Kichu's married life and that plan works. They keep their friendship going without Merlin knowing about it but in the final scene we understands that she knew about it all the time and she has no issues with it anymore.
It was in the sets of 2007 film Chocolate that script writer Sachy approached Shajoon Kariyal with an interesting thread. Shajoon who was busy in the talks of Raman Police with Gireesh Puthenchery rejected the offer. (Raman Police never took off and Sachy's story was later directed by Joshiy as Run Babby Run in 2012). Shajoon, in the mean time, was also in the pre-production works of Talkies, a film planned by him with Mohanlal in the lead. This project also did not go into floor and this is when Sachy came up with the story of Chettayees.
