In Mumbai on November 4, director‑writer Suparn Verma, who is waiting for his new film Haq to hit the screens, shared a striking view on how politics can sneak into any piece of art. Speaking from a 5‑star Juhu villa, he called Charlie Chaplin’s iconic Tramp the most political figure in cinema.
Verma pointed out that “politics” isn’t just about governments or elections. It’s about power dynamics that show up anywhere—comedy, drama, even a family drama. “If there’s power, there’s politics,” he said. “A bully in a comedy, the divide between rich and poor in Chaplin’s films, and even the dynamics between adults and children—all of these are political.” He added that politics in art isn’t always negative—it’s simply part of life and adds depth.
The director‑writer also reflected on why people create art. “Art is a time machine,” he said. “A scent, a song, or a picture can make us remember moments. Humans try to leave a mark so they’ll be remembered.” That, he believes, is the essence of our creative impulse.
Haq is slated to release in Indian cinemas on November 7. The film’s release brings a fresh voice to Bollywood, and followers of Suparn Verma’s work are keen to see how he blends his views on art and politics in the story.
