Hotel California is a 2013 Malayalam comedy caper film directed by Aji John and written by Anoop Menon.

It stars Jayasurya, Anoop Menon, Saiju Kurup, Shankar Panikkar, Joju George, Honey Rose, Maria Roy and Aparna Nair.

Then Sasi Pillai is shown talking about a hot topic for news reporting about the don named Airport Jimmy.

Prakash felt that such a big film wouldn't begun so soon, thus Anoop Menon bringing forth the script of Trivandrum Lodge for the director to start.

The film has Aji John and Anoop Menon duo joining after Namukku Paarkaan which got mixed responses in the box office.

Anoop Menon who helms the script of the movie says that the original song has made name touching the hearts of generations.

He finds logic to turn the title of the movie to Hotel California as it too is for all generations who are ready to enjoy freedom.

The director of cinematography is Jithu Damodar, who had earlier worked with Jayasurya and Anoop Menon duo in the film David and Goliath directed by Rajeev Nath.

Taking clues from their previous hit 'Trivandrum Lodge', mixing it with aces of ' Ramjirao speaking ', 'Delly Belly' and 'Tere bin laden', the movie has plenty of assured laughs."
