On the fortieth Anniversary of the landmark Shah Bano vs Ahmed Khan case (Supreme Court 1985), Yami Gautam stars in a compelling drama inspired by the lifetime of Shah Bano. This case stays a big moment within the struggle for Muslim women’s rights in India and their challenge to established personal laws.
Emraan Hashmi plays Yami Gautam’s husband within the film based on Shah Bano case, first schedule wrapped up
Starring Yami Gautam Dhar and Emraan Hashmi, the film is a gripping drama set against the backdrop of a case that reshaped India’s constitutional history and deeply impacted the dynamics of a democratic society—highlighting the role of the state in problems with religion, individual rights, and ladies’s rights. Emraan Hashmi plays Yami’s husband, a personality inspired by Shah Bano’s husband, Ahmed Khan. Audiences can look ahead to powerful performances from the talented forged of this project.
A classic David Vs Goliath story, it saw a resilient Shah Bano with no financial resources and support from society tackle the establishment of organised religion and fight the misogynistic practices carried out under the garb of organised religion.
The genesis of a subsequent legal framework that back within the Nineteen Seventies, didn’t even merit a conversation, this story is a gripping tale of how a girl with nothing except courage and truth took on her husband who was himself a well to do lawyer, the mighty Waqf board, and went all of the option to the Supreme Court and defeated all of them single handedly. The case laid the bottom for innumerous women to make legitimate claims which they weren’t allowed before.
The case made global headlines and has also been listed as considered one of the Top 10 events that shaped Indian democracy and judiciary. It remains to be taught in law schools across the country and the citation has helped women of all faiths, religions or caste and different socio-economic strata to get their rightful due when a wedding goes bust owing to misogynistic laws.
This story also led to the genesis of what’s now heading to a One Nation One Law under the proposed Uniform Civil Code.
The film is predicted to have an enormous theatrical release in cinemas across India and globally and is predicted to release sometime in October/November 2025. The film has been shot in multiple locations across Lucknow and Uttar Pradesh and its first schedule recently got wrapped.
Yami Gautam Dhar is riding high on the success of Article 370 and that is her next theatrical release. Emraan Hashmi next release is the war film Ground Zero and was seen recently in Tiger Zinda Hai amongst others.
That is the subsequent within the courtroom trilogy announced by director Suparn S Verma who’s the creator of the multi-award winning critical and business success Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hain starring Manoj Bajpayee.
