Haider, which is a modern-day adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet, was set amidst the insurgency-hit Kashmir conflicts of 1995. It is also based on Basharat Peer's memoir Curfewed Night.

The film revolved around Shahid’s character Haider, a young student and a poet, who returns to Kashmir at the peak of the conflict to seek answers about his father's disappearance and ends up being tugged into the politics of the state.

The film marked the third installment of Bhardwaj's Shakespearean trilogy after 2003’s Maqbool and the Omkara, which was released in 2006.

The film was first screened at the 19th Busan International Film Festival. Upon its release in 2014, it was a major commercial success at the box-office, garnering attention from the media due to its controversial subject matter.

Haider was the first Indian film to win the People's Choice Award at the Rome Film Festival. At the 62nd National Film Awards, Haider won a leading five awards.

Talking about her work, Tabu was last seen on screen in the romantic thriller Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha directed by Neeraj Pandey. The film stars Ajay Devgn and Tabu in their tenth film together. The movie also featured Jimmy Sheirgill, Shantanu Maheshwari and Saiee Manjrekar. Tabu Joins the Cast of Dune–Prophecy! Actress’ Role in the Upcoming Max Series Revealed.
