Irrfan Khan plays a camel trader in ‘The Song of Scorpions’

‘The Song of Scorpions’ has Irrfan Khan and Golshifteh Farahani playing the role of husband and wife and has been shot extensively in Rajasthan.

Earlier this year, we had mentioned that Irrfan Khan will be doing a film with the popular Iranian actress-musician Golshifteh Farahani. Though the actor remained tight lipped about the film, we now hear that the film, directed by Anup Singh, is titled ‘The Song of Scorpions’.

Essentially a love story, The Song of Scorpions, however, is different from the actor-director’s previous collaboration Qissa: The Tale of a Lonely Ghost. The film has Irrfan and Golshifteh playing the role of husband and wife and has been shot extensively in Rajasthan. While Irrfan portrays the character of a camel trader, Golshifteh plays the role of a woman, who can cure any incurable pain (including snake bite and labour pain) through music. The film has Golshifteh taking up a journey to find the right music that will heal her life, poisoned by her own husband. Further, director Anup Singh also added that the film will be a quintessential Hindi film with a tinge of Rajasthani language.

‘The Song of Scorpions’ also has Waheeda Rahman and Shashank Arora of Titli fame in prominent roles.
