Production

The film is Bash Mohammed's directorial debut, and the story was developed by himself. He initially approached with the film idea to Dinesh Prabhakar, who showed interest and became the film's executive producer.

The title Lukka Chuppi means "hide and seek", which Bash uses as a metaphor for life. According to him, Lukka Chuppi is an experimental film "that explores the behavioural pattern of a group of old friends who are on a get-together after a long gap". The story happens in one night, and centers on the re-union of six college friends with their spouses, who are now in their mid-30s. "It's not a film built on a hero-heroine format.

Resul Pookutty was the film's sound designer. Bijibal composed the music from the lyrics of Rafeeq Ahammed. Lukka Chuppi was produced by Feel Reel Cinemas. Actor Dinesh Prabhakar, who played Benny Chacko, was also the casting director of the film.

As of April 2015, the release was planned for 21 May 2015.

Jayasurya plays Reghuram, and according to him the character is "a creative person who is filthy rich. He is someone who has gone through many ups and downs in his life. It's an intense character". Asmita Sood was reported to be in the cast in early January 2015, in an important role which brings significant development in the second half of the film.
