Production

After the success of Beautiful, director V. K. Prakash wanted to meet the audience with another feel-good movie. Trivandrum Lodge brings together the key names behind Beautiful once again. While Anoop Menon was in charge of the scripts and was to play a pivotal role, Jayasurya came up in the lead role. Trivandrum Lodge combines elements of off-color humor. It follows the lives of the residents in a lodge and their relationships.

Jayasurya was chosen to play the character without further remarks. Initially, Padmapriya was chosen to play the female lead. She opted out after some changes in the script because she believed there was very limited scope for her to perform.

Rumours said that the role was later given to Meghana Raj, but it was actually offered to Honey Rose who came through with a different character as Dhwani in the film.

The film marked a comeback of sorts for veteran singer Jayachandran who had previously acted in 80s films such as Nakhakshathangal and Lekhayude Maranam Oru Flashback. Writer P. Balachandran and singer Nikhil also appear in major supporting roles. Bhavana was cast to play a small cameo role as the wife of Anoop Menon's character, and the actress agreed to do it readily.

The film began its shoot and held its pooja or launch on 22 April 2012 in Fort Kochi. The other locations are Mattancherry and Thiruvananthapuram. The cinematography was done by Pradeep Narayanan to mark his first in Malayalam cinema, while Aravind operated the helicam.
