Yami Gautam's Year-Long Quran Study for 'Haq'

Yami Gautam's immersive preparation for her role in the courtroom drama 'Haq' involved over a year of dedicated study of Islamic laws. Director Suparn Verma revealed that Gautam spent an extensive period learning the Holy Quran to accurately portray her character, Shazia Bano. This legal drama, which premiered in November 2025, is based on the pivotal 1985 Shah Bano case.

'Haq' chronicles Shazia's fight for maintenance and rights after her husband, a lawyer, takes a second wife. The film navigated challenges, including a legal notice from Shah Bano's family, before its release, ultimately receiving a green light as a fictionalized account. Post-release, Gautam's performance was lauded by numerous celebrities and social media users, with many suggesting she deserved a National Award.

Gautam shared her joy over the film's positive reception, emphasizing the power of organic word-of-mouth. She stated that the success of a film like 'Haq' is a rarity and a moment she will cherish. The film, though not a box office giant, made a significant impact on audiences with its compelling narrative and strong performances from Gautam and Emraan Hashmi.
