Talking about Aiyaary, Neeraj Pandey revealed his inspiration behind the film in an interview with a leading daily. He said, "Again reality of what’s going around and awareness of the fact that someone needs to talk about these things – that being the underlying reason. Also, it was a fantastic story. Once you see the film, you’ll agree that something like this has never been spoken about in this format. So, that was the temptation to address a story like this."
