Production

Haq is directed by Suparn S. Varma and produced by Junglee Pictures in collaboration with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios. The screenplay was developed by Reshu Nath, with music composed by Vishal Mishra, Shivam Gupta as the casting director and Vijay Shinde as the VFX director. The film takes creative inspiration from Jigna Vora’s book Bano: Bharat ki Beti, which recounts Shah Bano’s legal struggle and its broader social implications.

The film was shot in Lucknow (Amir-ud-daula Public Library, Safed Baradari, Tomb of Saadat Ali Khan, Akbari Gate), Kakori (for Sankhani scenes), Sandila, Nyotini, Hardoi and Delhi.

In October 2025, Siddiqua Begum, the daughter of Shah Bano, issued a legal notice to the CBFC and the makers of Haq, alleging that the film draws from her mother’s 1985 Supreme Court case without her consent. She claimed that the filmmakers had not consulted her and had inaccurately portrayed aspects of her mother’s story. The notice requested a halt to the film’s release, citing potential violations of personality and publicity rights.

In November 2025, Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissed her plea, reiterating that privacy and reputation are not inheritable and extinguish with the person's death. Thus, there was no obligation to seek consent. The court also noted that the film's disclaimer states that the it was a dramatised and fictionalised adaptation of the book Bano: Bharat ki Beti by Jigna Vora.
