The trailer for the upcoming courtroom drama Haq, starring Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam, was released today. The film promises an intense legal battle centered on a significant social issue.
Haq is reportedly based on the landmark Shah Bano Begum case, a pivotal moment in Indian legal history. This case involved a divorced Muslim woman seeking alimony from her former husband.
Yami Gautam portrays Bano, a woman who lives with her husband, Mohammed Ahmed Khan, and their three children. Emraan Hashmi steps into the role of Khan.
The plot unfolds as Khan falls in love with another woman, played by debutante Vartika Singh. He then divorces Bano and stops providing her with monthly support after returning her "mehr" (dower). This initiates the courtroom conflict.
Suparn Verma directed the film. Haq is scheduled for release on November 7.
