Chaverpada is a 2010 Indian Malayalam-language action thriller film directed by T. S. Jaspal starring Bala, Manikuttan, Arun Cherukavil and Krishna Prasad in the lead roles.
Chaverpada tells the story of a group of engineering college students Ameer Sulthan, Abhimanyu, Vivek Narayan and Nandhan G. Nair who have developed a means of their own to voice their protests against the ills that have gripped today's society. The testing phase of a software that they have developed causes unexpected jams in the traffic signals as well as the wireless system of the city. The youngsters realize that they are in trouble when the cops find out more about the incident. Police moved to the college to arrest them. However, they are kidnapped by a group of terrorists before the cops could lay their hands on them. Vishal Sabhapathi, the leader of the NSG Commando Wing, is soon called in to look into the case and rescue the students.
The film was reported to be similar to 4 the People (2004).[1]
The film became notorious due to trolls regarding Krishna Prasad's character. Krishna Prasad said that he was unaffected by the trolls and prefered his character in Mizhikal Sakshi (2008) since his character in Chaverpada was poorly written.[2]
