Radhe Shyam's story was originally developed by director Chandra Sekhar Yeleti due to budget and other complications he dropped the idea and Radha Krishna was worked as an assistant to him so he borrowed the storyline from Yeleti, worked on it, and rewrote the script for almost 18 years. He narrated the script to actor Prabhas while he was shooting for the Baahubali series (2015–17). Prabhas liked the script and signed up for the project.

Radha Krishna initially wanted to set the story in the backdrop of a hill station in India. However, the story was moved to Europe following the suggestion of Prabhas. Director Radha Krishna Kumar revealed that the protagonist Vikram Aditya's character is inspired by real-life European palmist Cheiro. Several titles including Jaan and O Dear were considered for the film but the makers finalized Radhe Shyam as the film's title.
