Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam are coming up with a powerful film, Haq which is based on the Supreme Court’s landmark judgement on the Mohd Ahmed Khan vs Shah Bano Begum case. Directed by Shuparn S Verma, Haq is all set to release in theatres on November 7, 2025. The makers recently released the teaser of Haq on social media.
Haq teaser released
Produced by Junglee Pictures, in association with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios, Haq promises to give the audience a thrilling experience with the powerful drama.
It is a fictionalised and dramatised version of events stated in the book titled ‘Bano: Bharat ki Beti’ written by Jigna Vora and revisits one of the most controversial cases in the India of the 80s — the important that started more than 4 decades back remains urgent and relevant in our society even today. Shouldn’t the opportunity of justice be equal for all? Is it time for one nation, one law? Should there be a Uniform Civil Code (UCC)?
In the teaser, Yami Gautam is playing the role of Shah Bano Begum, while Emraan Hashmi is playing the role of a lawyer. The whole clip showed both the actors giving incredible performances with powerful dialogue deliveries.
For Yami Gautam, Haq marks her next in theatres, after she lit up the screen with her electrifying performance in Article 370. In Haq, she portrays an inspiring Muslim woman who refuses to be silenced. Wronged and abandoned, she fights a system stacked up against her. She is unafraid to go to court demanding her Haq for herself and her children under section 125. Coming together for the first time, Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi deliver a compelling story, with Hashmi playing the role of a razor-sharp and celebrated lawyer and Yami leading a battle that dares society to pick a side.
Haq begins as a love story, and seemingly a private dispute between a husband and wife shifts to a rousing debate on a provocative topic that begs a solution even today – a battle spotlighting greater questions of faith, identity, liberalism, personal belief and eventually policy and law – the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) under article 44.
Haq also stars Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, and Aseem Hattangady in pivotal roles. Stay tuned for more updates!
