Haq, Divorce Stories & Manoj Bajpayee’s Fever Shoot — with Suparn Verma

Director–writer Suparn Varma joins Cyrus for a completely unfiltered conversation that swings from the deeply serious to the delightfully stupid — exactly what you expect on Cyrus Says.

Suparn talks about the making of HAQ, why the Shah Bano judgement still matters 40 years later, and how women’s rights, gender roles and social change shaped his vision for the film. He opens up about faith, research, and the responsibility of retelling a landmark moment in Indian legal history.

In true Cyrus Says style, the two wander into everything from divorce stories, cricket rants and bizarre “pleasure” confessions to vanity vans, Deepika’s 8-hour rule, and Manoj Bajpayee shooting a yoga scene while running a 103° fever.

If you love behind-the-scenes filmmaking, sharp social commentary, and absolute chaos — this episode is for you.
