Anniyan follows the story of an everyman taking the law into his hands in order to fight a corrupt system. The original was dubbed into Hindi and released as Aparichit in 2006. It had the actor Vikram donning a variety of disguises and personalities.

Speaking to Variety Ranveer Singh said, "I am blessed to have this opportunity to be a part of the cinematic vision of Shankar sir. He is an exception to the norm. To lead a film like Anniyan is a dream come true. Vikram sir is an actor I admire and he gave a spectacular performance in the movie. I hope that my interpretation of the part also connects with audiences in the same way".
