The development of the Sacred Games began after Eric Bermack, Netflix’s vice president, approached Motwane in 2014 to create Indian content for the platform. He opted to adapt Chandra’s novel to the local Indian language, for which Motwane agreed.
After the script was completed, Motwane asked Kashyap to direct; Motwane directed scenes involving Singh, while Kashyap directed Gaitonde. Swapnil Sonawane is the director of photography for Motwane, while Sylvester Fonseka and Aseem Bajaj filmed scenes directed by Kashyap. Anshuman Singh’s casting house was for that. Aarti Bajaj was the editor, and Alokananda Dasgupta composed the background score.
