'Hotel California' has its takers everywhere New Delhi: 'Hotel California' is a name that has inspired filmmakers across the globe. The latest to get influenced by the name is director Aji John whose Malayalam film is called 'Hotel California'. The film features Anoop Menon, Honey Rose, Maria Roy and Aparna Nair. It has Shaan Rahman as music composer while cinematography is handled by Jithu Damodar.

The film has already been released on May 3, 2013 and received mixed responses from the critics.

The genre of the film is action-comedy.

'Hotel California' was the fifth album produced by the famous band Eagles and it became an instant success after its release in late 1976. The title track of the album has been used in many films as reference point.
