Actor Irrfan Khan says he loves flying kites, and it's something that the cast and crew of his film "The Song Of Scorpions" used to enjoy while shooting in Jaisalmer.
"I love flying kites. It has been my favourite since forever now. On the sets of 'The Song Of Scorpions', every person from the cast and crew used to go crazy flying kites," Irrfan said in a statement.
"If we used to pack up early, the crew members would come with kites and we would fly (kites) till sunset," added the "Piku" star.
Directed by Geneva-based director Anup Singh, "The Song Of Scorpions" also stars veteran actress Waheeda Rehman, Iranian beauty Golshifteh Farahani and Tillotama Shome in key roles.

Radhika Apte wraps up 'Phobia' shoot
Actress Radhika Apte is done with shooting the upcoming thriller and horror film "Phobia".
"Night shoot.. Last shoot day for 'Phobia'," Radhika tweeted.
As the title suggests, the film revolves around some kind of a phobia -- the fear of something.
Radhika was meeting doctors and patients, apart from reading extensively, about the subject to gather as much information as possible for the role.
She was also in close contact with psychiatrists to understand the mental aspect, and neurosurgeons for the biological aspect so that she understands better how a person reacts to a particular phobia. The actress has also been meeting patients and observing them to understand their behavioural patterns.

I'm seasonal: Sidharth Malhotra
Actor Sidharth Malhotra has been screen stealer with his pairing with Alia Bhatt as much as with Shraddha Kapoor. He says it's a "seasonal" phenomena for him!
Asked that between Alia and Shraddha, with whom does he look best, Sidharth said here: "I was looking good with Shraddha in 'Ek Villain'. It was an interesting love story. Recently, I am looking amazing with Alia because of 'Kapoor and Sons'. So, I am seasonal."
Sidharth spoke at an event for Tourism New Zealand, of which he is a brand ambassador of in India.
He also addressed rumours that he's now staying with Alia, his rumoured girlfriend.
"I am not living in with Alia. I am doing up my house currently and that is my house only. There is no so such truth. Alia and I are only sharing films, not our house," said the "Student Of The Year" actor.
However, he may be spending Valentine's Day with her!
Asked about his V-Day plans, he said: "I have not planned anything yet. I think I will be working. I will be promoting my film and Alia might be there and Fawad Khan also. So we all will be celebrating Valentine Day together."
