The Song of Scorpions, the last film of Irrfan Khan is set to hit theatres on April 28. The release comes ahead of the late actor's third death anniversary on April 29. 

On Tuesday, the late actor's son Babil took to Instagram to announce the release date. He also announced that the film's trailer will be out on April 20. The film is directed by Anup Singh. 

The Song of Scorpions, which premiered at the 70th Locarno Film Festival in 2017, also stars Waheeda Rehman and Iranian star Golshifteh Farahani.

Irrfan Khan plays the role of a camel trader in The Song of Scorpions. The story follows Nooran, a tribal woman, who learns the ancient art of healing from her grandmother, a revered scorpion singer. When Aadam, a camel trader listens to her sing, he falls in love completely. Their romance is cut short when Nooran is poisoned by treachery. 

Irrfan passed away on April 29, 2020, at the age of 54. He was admitted to Mumbai's Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital with a colon infection and succumbed to his ailment.
