Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam's Haq Gets Zero Cuts Worldwide Amid Legal Notice From Shah Bano’s Family

Haq, which stars Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam, has passed censorship regulations in India, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom ahead of its November 7 release. All boards certified the movie without making any modifications, and its examination of gender equality, justice, religion, and family sparked interest. But the family of Shah Bano, whose life the novel is based on, has objected and is taking legal action in response to the censorship clearance.

Haq holds certifications as a U/A 13+ in India, a PG-15 in the United Arab Emirates, and a PG in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Suparn Verma is the director and Junglee Pictures is the producer. The story, which touches on delicate subjects including the Uniform Civil Code, personal laws, and gender rights, is based on the widely reported Supreme Court ruling in the Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum case of the 1980s.

Shah Bano's family, meanwhile, has blasted the filmmakers, claiming that the movie shows her entire narrative without their consent or permission. The family has taken legal action to contest the film's release as a result of the worries.

In India, the Supreme Court's ruling at the time sparked intense public and political discussion, including discussions about equal access to justice and the relationship between secular and religious legislation.
