Mumbai, Oct 25 (NationPress) Vartika Singh, a former Miss Universe India and supermodel, is all set to embark on her journey in Bollywood with the anticipated courtroom thriller “Haq”, featuring Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam.

Directed by Suparn Varma and produced by Junglee Pictures, “Haq” will showcase Vartika as a woman who is both unpredictable and emotionally intense.

Varma, recognized for his work on The Family Man and Rana Naidu, describes her performance as “controlled fire.”

In preparation for her role, the former beauty queen engaged with dialect coaches and participated in improvisation workshops to delve into her character’s silences, which Varma refers to as “the quiet machinery of guilt.”

Set against a backdrop of a contentious legal battle, Haq features Emraan and Yami facing off in a case that intersects with Singh’s character in unexpected ways.

Based on Jigna Vora’s book “Bano: Bharat ki Beti,” Haq presents a fictionalized depiction of the events surrounding the Shah Bano case, a landmark issue that ignited public debate decades ago and continues to resonate today.

When discussing the film's reception, Vora stated: “I’m sure it will connect deeply with people. The teaser has already been released, and it looks quite impactful. The film has an intense courtroom drama setting, and knowing the way I’ve written it, I’m confident that actors like Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi have done justice to their roles.”

Is any part of her book personally inspired? The former journalist remarked: “Yes. The central character, Shah Bano, was an incredibly strong woman. She was divorced in her late sixties and still had the courage to fight for her rights—first in the Madhya Pradesh High Court and then in the Supreme Court. Her journey wasn’t easy. I tried to capture her emotional turmoil and strength in my writing, hoping to justify her story.”

Supported by Junglee Pictures in collaboration with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios, Haq is set to release on November 7.
