Fans of Imran Hashmi have been eagerly awaiting the release of his upcoming film Ground Zero, and the wait is almost over with just 5 days left for its release. Ahead of Ground Zero's release, a new film starring Imran Hashmi has been announced, which will be based on the famous Shah Bano case. Joining him in this project is actress Yami Gautam.
Yami Gautam to Play Shah Bano Begum
According to sources, Yami Gautam and Imran Hashmi will soon be seen in a film based on the Shah Bano case. In the film, Yami will portray Shah Bano Begum, while Imran will play her husband, Mohammad Ahmed Khan. Reports suggest that the first schedule of the film's shooting has already been completed. The movie will depict the events of the 1970s, with Yami’s character fighting for the rights of Muslim women.
What is the Shah Bano Case?
In 1978, 62-year-old Shah Bano, a mother of five children, was divorced by her lawyer husband, Mohammad Ahmed Khan, through the practice of 'triple talaq'. When she demanded alimony under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code, her husband refused, citing Muslim Personal Law. The case reached the Supreme Court, which, in 1985, ruled that Section 125 applies to all Indian citizens and that divorced women are entitled to maintenance, regardless of their religion. This landmark judgment reinforced gender justice and the principles of a secular constitution.
Yami Gautam and Imran Hashmi's Work Fronts
On the professional front, Yami Gautam was last seen in Dhoom Dhaam and Article 370, where her performance received widespread appreciation. Meanwhile, Imran Hashmi is all set for the release of Ground Zero, in which he stars alongside Sai Tamhankar, Mukesh Tiwari, and Zoya Hussain. The film is set to hit theaters on April 25. Based on a true incident, Imran will portray a BSF officer named Narendra Nath Dubey in the film. After Ground Zero, Imran will continue to take on real-life inspired roles in his upcoming projects.
