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.
