Yami Gautam was last seen in the film Haq, where her performance received widespread appreciation. Directed by Suparn Verma, the film was released in theatres on November 7, 2025. In the movie, Yami played the role of Shazia Bano, while Emraan Hashmi appeared as Mohammad Abbas Khan.
Suparn Verma further explained that the team worked extensively on research before bringing the story to life. He said, 'Today, everyone has access to information, but you don't always know what is correct. In such a situation, I wanted Haq to be a voice of understanding. Our entire team did a lot of research before making this film.' He also added that Yami's character Shazia Bano is based on a woman struggling with personal and legal challenges in 1970s India.
Produced under the banners of Junglee Pictures, Insomnia Films, and Baveja Studios, the film Haq highlights important themes such as gender equality and justice. While the film received positive reviews from critics, it did not perform strongly at the box office. According to Bollywood Hungama, the film was made on a budget of around Rs 40 crore but earned only Rs 19.62 crore. Despite its theatrical performance, Haq is now available for streaming on Netflix.
