Priyanshu Chatterjee, having starred in films like Tum Bin, Dil Ka Rishta, Bhootnath, Hate Story 3, Shikara, Baadshaho and more, will now be seen for the first time in a crossover film titled 'Barun Rai And The House on the Cliff' which is shot and will be released in the UK. Priyanshu is playing the character of Barun Rai, a parapsychologist detective for the first time in his career. He has donned a completely different look in this film which will be similar to a classic '70s era look. He will be seen investigating crimes where paranormal activity is present with the use of his clairvoyant visions to reconstruct all the unexplained incidents that have occurred. Priyanshu spoke to mid-day.com about the project.
