Emraan Hashmi opens up about HAQ at the film’s trailer launch event: Muslims should really come and watch this film

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.

While talking to the media at the trailer launch event, Emraan Hashmi shared whether it felt like an added responsibility to do a film like Haq, considering that he is a Muslim. “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.

“Jab yeh film dekhkar log bahar aayenge, I don’t know unka opinion kya hoga. I know that most of them will find it extremely balanced, and ek jo chiz nikalke bahar aati hai, woh hai pro-women. It is a pro-women film. Meri community ke liye, I felt that this is from a liberal Muslim point of view. I think this is a great piece of work. Muslims should really come and watch this film because you will connect with it, in a very different way,” he further said.

Haq revolves around a Muslim woman who fights the system and heads to the court demanding rights for herself and her children under Section 125. It highlights questions regarding faith, identity, liberalism and policy and law – the Uniform Civil Code Act under Article 44. The film is set to release in theatres on 7th November 2025, directed by one of the most dynamic directors today in the industry Suparn S Varma (creator of Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, The Family Man, Rana Naidu), and written by Reshu Nath. Strengthening the talent roster of HAQ are actors par excellence Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, and Aseem Hattangady.
