Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam are all set to share screen in Suparn Verma's Haq, which is inspired by the real-life court case between Mohd. Ahmed Khan and Shah Bano Begum, which happens to be one of the most controversial cases in India. However, the movie has landed in legal trouble ahead of its release.
According to reports, Shah Bano’s daughter Siddiqua Begum has sent a legal notice to the makers of the film. In the notice, she sought an immediate halt to the film as it allegedly shows the personal life of Shah Bano without Siddiqua's consent, who is her legal heir. The notice also mentions defamation and violation of personality and publicity rights against Haq.
