Haq actress Yami Gautam read the Quran for about four months to prepare for her character and maintain the authenticity of the film. The film’s director Supan S Verma told this in an interview given to BBC Asian Network. Supan S Verma said that during the research of the film, it took about one and a half years for the team to understand Islamic law. He told that the references and dialogues of Quran have been presented realistically in the film. Therefore, in the end, special importance was given to the word ‘Iqra’. He said that an attempt has been made in the film to show issues like triple talaq and dower in the right context. Apart from Yami Gautam, Emraan Hashmi also played an important role in the film. The film also featured actors like Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain and Aseem Hattangadi. The story of the film was based on issues like gender equality, justice and personal dignity.
