Haq teaser
The teaser for the film titled `HAQ` has been released and it takes taking audiences inside the intense courtroom drama as Shah Bano Begun fights for her rights and justice. Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam take over the lead roles as Mohd Ahmed Khan and Shah Bano Begum, showcasing a fierce confrontation on the legal grounds.
The teaser starts by showing Hashmi`s character criticising Yami, calling out her for being an irresponsible wife. “My fight is just for one thing – my rights,” Yami strongly states. It further progresses to highlight how the case caught the country`s attention, invoking a tense and violent environment. The teaser also has the lead pair taking a bold stance against each other.
“I am not just a Muslim woman, but I am a Muslim woman of India, and I belong to this country. Hence, the law should treat me the same way as it treats other women of the country,” Yami says in the court.
According to the makers, the film is inspired by the landmark Supreme Court judgement of Mohd. Ahmed Khan vs Shah Bano Begun. “Shazia Bano takes her husband Abbas to court after he abandons her and their children, sparking a national battle over faith, women`s rights, and justice. Haq is the story of one woman`s fight for her rights and justice,” they stated.
About Haq
Haq is set to release in theatres on November 7th 2025. It is directed by Suparn S Varma, best known for creating Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, The Family Man, and Rana Naidu, and is written by Reshu Nath. Yami and Emraan are joined by a star cast of Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, and Aseem Hattangady in supporting roles.
HAQ is a fictionalised and dramatised version of events mentioned in the book titled Bano: Bharat ki Beti, penned by Jigna Vora. It revisits one of the most controversial cases in India of the 80s. Although it begins as a love story and seemingly a private dispute between a husband and wife, it shifts to a rousing debate on a provocative topic that begs a solution. The courtroom drama highlights greater questions of faith, identity, liberalism, personal belief and eventually policy and law, the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) under Article 44.
