Irrfan Khan’s last film, ‘The Song of Scorpions,’ will be released in theatres on April 28, a day before the late actor’s third death anniversary. Anup Singh directs the film, which also stars Golshifteh Farahani, Waheeda Rehman, Shashank Arora, and Tillotama Shome in prominent roles.
The Songs of Scorpions trailer portrays Irrfan Khan as Aadam, a camel merchant who falls in love with Nooran (Golshifteh Farahani), a tribal woman who is studying the therapeutic skill of scorpion-singing from her grandmother (Waheeda Rehman).
‘The Song of Scorpions’ is a story of twisted love, revenge, and the redemptive power of a song. Nooran, carefree and defiantly independent, is a tribal woman learning the ancient art of healing from her grandmother, a revered scorpion-singer. When Aadam, a camel trader in the Rajasthan desert, hears her sing, he falls desperately in love. But even before they can get to know each other better, Nooran is poisoned by treachery, which sets her on a perilous journey to avenge herself and find her song.
Babil commented on Twitter about the trailer for The Songs Of Scorpions, “Bringing alive a heart-wrenching tale of love, obsession, and betrayal. #TheSongOfScorpions Trailer out now!” The film will be released in theatres nationwide on April 28th.
