Legendary bollywood actor Irrfan Khan’s movie “The Song of Scorpions” gears up for launch. Written and directed by Anup Singh, the film, which is a “story of twisted love, revenge and the redemptive power of a song”, also stars Golshifteh Farahani, Waheeda Rehman, and Shashank Arora.
The Song of Scorpions will be released in early 2021 by Panorama Spotlight along with 70 MM Talkies.
The movie premiered at Switzerland’s 70th Locarno Film Festival in August 2017.
The film follows Nooran (Farahani), a fiercely independent tribal woman who is learning the ancient healing art of scorpion-singing from her grandmother Zubeidaa (Rehman).
Irrfan Khan’s character Aadam is a camel trader Aadam who falls in love with Nooran.
Producer and Director, Abhishek Pathak said in a statement, “The Song of Scorpions is a special story, and it is truly an honour for us to present Irrfan Khan’s final performance in it. We will be offering this film to the audiences as a tribute to the beloved star of Indian cinema. The era of cinema in India and abroad has benefitted from his acting prowess and we’re happy to have canvassed his swansong.”
