About Haq

Besides lead actors Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam, Haq features Vartika Singh, Sheeba Chaddha, and Danish Husain in key roles.

The movie, produced by Junglee Pictures, Insomnia Films, and Baweja Studios, highlights the keen interest that grew around women’s rights and Muslim personal law after the Shah Bano case.

Adapted from Jigna Vora’s book ‘Bano: Bharat Ki Beti’, it is a dramatised and fictionalised version of the case, portraying Yami Gautam as Shazia Bano.
