Bollywood’s upcoming courtroom drama Haq is already making noise for all the right reasons. Actor Emraan Hashmi took to social media to share a powerful new poster introducing Vartika Singh—former Miss Universe India 2015—as Saira, a woman who dares to stand tall against societal judgment. His caption set the tone perfectly: “The world judged her but she faced them all fearlessly!”
Directed by Vishal M. Mishra, Haq draws inspiration from the landmark Shah Bano case of 1985, which forever changed India’s conversation around personal laws, women’s rights, and justice. The film places its focus on Saira—a divorced Muslim woman fighting for her right to dignity and maintenance—portrayed by Vartika Singh in what promises to be a striking acting debut.
Alongside her, Emraan Hashmi steps into the role of a determined lawyer who takes on a system steeped in bias, while Yami Gautam plays a key supporting role that adds emotional and moral weight to the narrative. The ensemble, featuring Danish Husain, Sheeba Chadha, and Piloo Vidyarthi, brings gravitas to a story rooted deeply in India’s social fabric.
Backed by Junglee Pictures, Baweja Studios, and Insomnia Media Content, Haq is shaping up to be a bold, thought-provoking film that explores the intersection of faith, gender, and justice. The screenplay, penned by Reshu Nath, combines real-world intensity with cinematic poignancy, ensuring the film resonates long after the credits roll.
Slated for a November 7, 2025 release, Haq has already sparked discussion online. Early glimpses and trailer reactions praise its raw performances and courageous storytelling. With a subject this timely and a cast this powerful, Haq could well be one of Bollywood’s most significant courtroom dramas in years.
