What happens

Aiyaary (transl. Shapeshifting) is a 2018 Indian Hindi-language spy thriller film written and directed by Neeraj Pandey and produced by Motion Picture Capital 11, Plan C Studios, Friday Filmworks and Pen India Limited, with Reliance Entertainment serving as distributor and presenter. The film stars Sidharth Malhotra, Manoj Bajpayee, Rakul Preet Singh, Pooja Chopra, Adil Hussain, Kumud Mishra, Naseeruddin Shah, and Anupam Kher. Loosely inspired by the Adarsh Housing society scam, the film follows an Indian Army officer who attempts to stop his rogue protégé from exposing his covert operations and intelligence unit. Initially rescheduled from 26 January to 9 February to yet another week, it was released on 16 February 2018 to mixed-negative reviews from critics and emerged as a box-office disaster.
