Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam’s film, Haq is a blockbuster hit. It is based on the real-life story of Shah Bano, and her fight in the court for maintenance from her husband after he left her and their three children. Recently, Emraan Hashmi opened up about doing women-centric films such as Haq and The Dirty Pictures, which no other Bollywood actor dares to do.
Emraan Hashmi shared his thoughts on Bollywood films and the portrayal of hypermasculine men
In a time when films like Animal show alpha-male men, Emraan Hashmi’s film, Haq, is like a breath of fresh air. Recently, in an interview with News18 Showsha, Emraan shared his stance on films that often face criticism due to the portrayal of hypermasculine characters. He shared that there is a woke culture behind the success of these films as people like watching toxic men in theatres and they buy tickets for the same. He said:
“There’s a huge uproar because a woke culture has started off through social media and generally around the world. The hypermasculine man who’s seen as toxic is what’s doing in theatres. There’s an uproar surrounding it but that’s what people are buying tickets for. That’s predominantly how our country is.”
