Late actor Irrfan Khan’s last film ‘The Song of Scorpions’ is getting a theatre release on April 28th, almost six years after it was completed. The release is also happening just a day before the third death anniversary of the late actor. Ahead of the India debut, a trailer for the Song of Scorpions has also been released.
The Song of Scorpions tickets aren’t out yet. Fans of Irrfan Khan can keep a lookout on BookMyShow and other ticketing platforms for when the tickets are made available.
The Song of Scorpions, directed by Anup Singh, was completed back in 2017 but it never released in India. It was showcased in film festivals and even saw a release in Europe in 2017 but the Indian release was pushed back due to COVID-19. The late actor had also wished for the film to release in India, the report added.
“Irrfan had seen the release of the film in Europe, and we got really good feedback. That made him very happy. It was his deepest desire that the film be released in India, especially when he started becoming sick. He really wanted it to be released. I think he was quite sad that it didn’t release that time. But he understood that Covid had made it impossible,” the director was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
