Mumbai, Nov 7 (NationPress) Director-writer Suparn Verma, eagerly anticipating the release of his new film ‘Haq’, revealed his affinity for capturing magical moments in cinema, regardless of any technical inaccuracies that may arise.
In an interview with IANS at a luxurious hotel in the Juhu area of Mumbai, he elaborated on his creative vision.
He stated, “If she (Yami Gautam) is delivering her lines authentically, then that’s what matters to me. There’s a scene where Bano is in session court, and as she expresses her thoughts, she becomes agitated, causing her headscarf to fall. While attempting to adjust it, she continues speaking without interruption. This moment wasn’t scripted or a lengthy monologue; it was a spontaneous fumble that we chose not to edit. It feels genuine.”
He continued, “When I’m delivering a long dialogue, perfection isn’t necessary. At one point, the sound engineer approached me and pointed out a mistake, and I replied, ‘That’s great! It makes the moment feel real.’ These unplanned occurrences are authentic, and she (Yami Gautam) seamlessly adapts to them.”
The film ‘Haq’ draws inspiration from the significant legal case of Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum. In this case, Shah Bano, a 62-year-old Muslim woman, sought alimony from her husband after being divorced via triple talaq. The Supreme Court ruled in her favor, under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code, affirming that maintenance is applicable to all citizens, regardless of their religion.
Produced by Junglee Pictures, in collaboration with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios, the film, directed by Suparn S Varma, is set to hit theaters on November 7, 2025.
