Emraan Hashmi says Muslims will connect with Haq in a different way at the trailer launch
Emraan Hashmi's Haq is all set to release on November 7. Here's what the actor stated about the film.
Mumbai: Emraan Hashmi attended the launch of his movie Haq, a film based on the Supreme Court's landmark judgement of Mohd. Ahmed Khan vs. Shah Bano Begum. Speaking at the event, Hashmi stated that the movie's balanced perspective, and even urged Muslims to watch the movie.
At the event, he stated how his approach towards the film was, especially as a Muslim actor. "When I read scripts like these, first I see it as an actor, and for the first time, I had to bring the point of view of a Muslim in the character, because a subject like this, going to back to the landmark case during the time, the whole country was divided into two parts, one side was on religion and personal faith, and other side was on constitution and secular rights, but I had watch out especially in this film, if the director and writers point of view is balanced or not, whether it is unbiased or not, and neutral, and it checked all the boxes, the point of view is very neutral," said the actor.
Haq is directed by Suparn S Varma and penned by Reshu Nath. It draws inspiration from the book Bano: Bharat ki Beti by Jigna Vora.

Further, Emraan revealed his expectations of how the audience would react to the movie. He also urged Muslims to watch the movie a watch, claiming that it would connect with them differently.
"And I could make out, when people would come out of cinema halls, I don’t know what will be their opinion, but I know that most of them will find the film extremely balanced, and one thing that comes out screaming, it is pro-women, this is something I took from the film, it has certain social awareness, it is pro-women film, and for my community, I felt this is from liberal Muslim’s point of view, I think it is a great piece of work. The entire team has made a beautiful film, and Muslims should really come and watch this film because you will connect with it in a very different way," said the actor.
The movie, produced by Junglee Pictures in association with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios, will hit the theatres on November 7, 2025.
