In an interview with Dawn News, Abbasi stated that the film was inspired by true events which took place in Punjab and that although the film is based on Cannibalism it has multiple stories merged into one; "Durj's plot does not just revolve around cannibalism, it is about a cannibal but we have multiple stories. There are three stories which merge into one." The film crew had to research which took about a year to collect data on cases before starting work on the story line.[10]
