== Production ==
Muthukumar first narrated the story to Suresh Krissna, along with Ranga in 2018. He then started writing the story of the series and ended in 2020, due to the delay because of [[COVID-19 pandemic in India]]. After watching Priyadarshi's performance in ''[[Mallesham]]'' (2019), he chosed him for the Aadi role. Similarly, Ali Baiga was casted due to his performance in the Tamil film ''[[Aruvi]]'' (2016). Filming was done in 2020 and 2021. Most of the scenes were shot in [[Maredumilli]], [[Rajahmundry]] and [[Amalapuram]] of [[Andhra Pradesh]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Dundoo|first=Sangeetha Devi|date=2021-06-14|title=Meet Vidyasaagar Muthukumar, debut director of the Telugu web series ‘In the Name of God’|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/vidyasaagar-muthukumar-director-of-priyadarshi-starrer-telugu-web-series-in-the-name-of-god/article34810585.ece|access-date=2021-06-28|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> Vijaythenarasu and Subhash were signed as art directors of the series.
