Emraan Hashmi on Haq

After the trailer of Haq was released, it not only received praise but also faced criticism as some felt that it was targeting or maligning Muslims. However, in an interview, Emraan Hashmi said that the film ‘does not point fingers at any community.' 

Speaking to ANI, Emraan said, “I read the script of this film, I saw it from the perspective of a creative actor, but for the first time in my career, I had to see that there is a sensitivity regarding a community, regarding my community. I have to be a little cognisant, and I have to analyse it in a different way. What I have extrapolated from this film is that there is a very balanced point of view… So we are not talking about anything that we are not pointing a finger at a community or passing a judgment.”

Emraan also said that the film does not target any community. He said that as a liberal Muslim, he had no problems with the viewpoint of the film. 

"Because we are not maligning any community, if we were, I wouldn't have done this film...And just to give a viewpoint of the kind of Muslim I am, I married Parveen, who is a Hindu. Meri family mein mere bete puja bhi karte hai, namaaz bhi padhte hai. This is my secular upbringing,' he said.
