Production

Director Geetu Mohandas is a noted actress in Malayalam cinema. She wrote the script to the film in 2007, before her debut short Kelkkunndo (Are You Listening) in 2008. However, she was unable to get the film financed due to the unusual storyline and a relatively unknown cast.

The film faced difficulties in raising funds before Alan McAlex and Ajay G. Rai, producers from Jar Pictures, stepped in. The final project was co-produced with Mohandas' own production company, Unplugged.

Liar's Dice was shot on a low budget using a small crew in under a month in March 2012. It was filmed on location in the village of Chitkul in Kinnaur district, Shimla, and various locations in Delhi, including the Jama Masjid. The cinematography was done by Mohandas' husband, Rajeev Ravi, who had previously worked on movies such as Dev.D (2009) and Gangs of Wasseypur (2012).
