In an interview with ETV Bharat, Yami Gautam said, “This film is inspired from the landmark judgment, it is not a biopic. Haq is an amalgamation of fiction and reality. I was amazed by her journey, which is heartbreaking, and at the same time it encapsulates in true definition the power of a woman, so much so that even 40 years later we are sitting and talking. After reading the script, I took a few moments to absorb it, and I stuck to my first thought. I never change that. When this happened, I was in high school; your childhood memories are very important. I still remember reading about this landmark case, and it felt very surreal that I was reading a script inspired by that case. I wanted to do justice to the part as an artist. It made me understand how and why this case became what it became. The film is not for any community; it is for the entire audience. It is universal.”
