The teaser for the upcoming film Haq, starring Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam, has been released on Tuesday.

Haq movie teaser: Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam’s powerful act
The teaser shows Emraan Hashmi telling Yami Gautam that if she were a true Muslim and a virtuous and faithful wife, she would never have said such a thing. To this, Yami Gautam replies, 'I am just Shazia Bano. Our fight has been for only one thing: our rights.' Later, she approaches the court for justice, where she is told to consult a Qazi, to which she replies, 'If someone's blood is on our hands, will you still say the same thing to me?'
The judge tells Emraan Hashmi that this isn't a personal matter. The entire nation is about to get involved. Following this, Emraan and Yami face off in the Supreme Court. Yami Gautam says, 'We are Indian women, so the law should treat us with the same respect it treats others.'

What is the Shah Bano case? Summary and significance
In 1978, 62-year-old Shah Bano, a mother of five children, was given triple talaq by her lawyer husband, Mohammed Ahmed Khan. When she sought alimony under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, he refused to pay her, citing Muslim personal law. The case reached the Supreme Court and in 1985, the court ruled that Section 125 applies to all Indian citizens and divorced women should receive alimony, regardless of their religion. The verdict was a landmark one, reinforcing the principles of gender justice and a secular Constitution.
