Exclusive: Emraan Hashmi Opens Up About Balancing Faith and Constitutional Justice in HAQ

Directed by Suparn S Verma and bankrolled by Junglee Pictures HAQ stars Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi in leading roles. The film is scheduled to release on November 7, 2025 in India. It is inspired by a landmark Supreme Court judgment and explores the Uniform Civil Code, Triple Talaq and gender equality before the law. During an exclusive interview with Filmfare, Emraan Hashmi opened up about the fine balance that the makers maintained between making the movie more aligned towards constitutional justice rather than faith and religion.

Emraan said, “Our intentions as makers were very clear. The characters who inspired us in the 1985 case are being seen from their point of view. The people who were affected by this were belonging to a community. But these things of love, religion and justice, go across the board. Marriages break and divorces happen. Unfortunately, there are very ugly divorces. Sometimes, the women in these marriages are not independent women.”

He added, “The men, in a way, clean their hands from the whole situation. They don’t take responsibilities as the marriage is over. The women wander around. They don’t know how to get justice in such a situation. And many times, they have children. The man is unwilling to support the kids as well. Such situations do occur.”

Our reviewer gave the movie 4.5 stars. He noted, “HAQ is a reminder that clarity, reason and moral courage can indeed be cinematic. Watch it for its sincerity, for its grace, for its argument but above all, watch it for the performances that give this battle a beating, breathing human heart. And watch it because it believes that the Indian woman, regardless of faith, deserves the Constitution as her shield, not the mercy of men.”
