More about Haq

The film, Haq is a hard-hitting courtroom drama, which focuses on a woman's legal battle for justice.

Apart from the lead cast, the film stars Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Husain, Aseem Hattangady and debutant, Vartika Singh. The film is all set to release in theatres on November 7, 2025. 

Haq lands into legal troubles

Days before the theatrical release of the film, Haq, it was hit with a legal challenge from the daughter and legal heir of Shah Bano. Reportedly, she has demanded a stay on the movie’s release, saying the producers used her mother’s life story without permission. The petition also claims that Haq hurts Muslim sentiments and portrays a negative and misogynistic image. The case proceedings will start soon. 

Days ago, during a conversation with ANI, Murder 2 actor, Emraan Hashmi has opened up about the controversies around the film and had shared that he is a Muslim too and he said yes to the film after seeing it from his point of view. He had shared:

"As a liberal Muslim, I can say that I had no problems with the viewpoint of the film. Because we are not maligning any community, if we were, I wouldn't have done this film. I married Parveen, who is a Hindu. Meri family mein mere bete puja bhi karte hai, namaaz bhi padhte hai. This is my secular upbringing. So, from my point of view, I am watching this film."
