Emraan Hashmi on HAQ: “Muslims Should Really Come and Watch This Film”
Emraan Hashmi’s upcoming film Haq, co-starring Yami Gautam, dives deep into one of India’s most powerful courtroom stories. Drawing inspiration from the historic Shah Bano case, the actor urges Muslims to watch the film, calling it a “liberal and pro-women” narrative that bridges faith, rights, and identity.
Emraam Hashmi and Yami Gautam are all set to share the screen space for the first time in Haq, an intense drama inspired by the landmark judgement of the Supreme Court on Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum case. Produced by Junglee Pictures, in association with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios, the film’s trailer was unveiled today in the presence of Emraan Hashmi, Yami Gautam, director Suparn S Varma and Amrita Pandey from Junglee Pictures.

"Main jab aise script padhta hoon, I see it as an actor aur iss film mein pehli baar mujhe jo ek musalmaan ka point of view hai woh bhi leke aana pada. Going back to the landmark case, pura desh do hisso mein batt gaya tha. Ek tha religion aur personal faith ki side pe, ek tha constitutional rights and secular rights ki taraf. But, mujhe yeh dekhna tha ki iss film mein, kya director aur writer ka point of view balance hai, unbiased hai, neutral hai? Toh uska short answer hai, 'haan'. It was very neutral," he shared.
