Emraan Hashmi Calls ‘Haq’ a Pro‑Women Legal Drama Ahead of Nov. 7 Release

He says the Shah Bano case–inspired film explores women’s dignity through secular law without maligning any community.

Overview

  • Hashmi says the story centers on equality and a woman’s right to dignity while avoiding judgment of any religious group.
  • He plays Ahmed, a prominent lawyer challenged by a maintenance claim from his estranged wife portrayed by Yami Gautam.
  • Directed by Suparn S Varma for Junglee Pictures, the film is scheduled to open in theaters on November 7, 2025.
  • Hashmi frames the narrative as balancing personal faith with constitutional law and urges men to reflect on patriarchal conditioning.
  • After a legal notice from Shah Bano’s daughter alleging unauthorized use of her mother’s case, Varma said the film is a fictionalized work inspired by multiple cases and that legal teams are in contact.
