Production

Yamadonga is the third collaboration between S. S. Rajamouli and N. T. Rama Rao Jr. after Student No: 1 (2001) and Simhadri (2003). In an interview with Telugucinema.com, Rajamouli revealed that the basic plot — where the hero dies and goes to Yamalokam and comes back to Earth — is inspired by the films Devanthakudu (1960) and Yamagola (1977) which starred Jr NTR's grandfather Sr. N.T.R.

The film also features a scene with Jr NTR alongside his grandfather as an acknowledgement of Yamagola. Rajamouli worked along with his father V. Vijayendra Prasad to develop the script. Rajamouli chose veteran actor Mohan Babu to play the role of Yama as he felt Mohan Babu was the "perfect and only choice" for the role. Following the suggestion of Rajamouli, Jr NTR underwent extensive weight loss especially for the film.

Principal photography of the film began in January 2007. Scenes related to Naraka (or Yama Loka) were shot at a specially erected set at Ramoji Film City. A few sequences were filmed at Talakona forest in Andhra Pradesh. A song was shot at Golconda Fort in Hyderabad, for which a waterfall was created at the location.
