Suparn Varma's statement after Haq's release on Netflix
After
Haq’s OTT premiere, director Suparn said in a statement, “Now that Haq is streaming on Netflix, I woke up to messages and DMs from people who watched it right at the midnight drop. Since then, my phone hasn’t stopped ringing. With Netflix, the film has reached audiences across the world, and the response has been truly overwhelming. People have been incredibly effusive in their appreciation not just for the film, but also for the writing and the performances by Emraan Hashmi and Yami. The emotional reactions I’ve received have been deeply moving.”In an exclusive interview with Zoom, Suparn said, “There has been no backlash but only love. People are also happily surprised that this is a progressive film. It is a balanced film,” before adding, “Everyone who has seen the film so far, this is what has touched the heart. It taps deep within us. For me, that was paramount from day one. When you make a film, keeping in mind that there could be a controversy and think you can benefit from it, you give the right to controversy. When you make a film that seeks to engage the heart and is honest and earnest about it, the audience smells it.”
