Chatterjee, best known for his 2001 romantic-drama movie Tum Bin, said he was thrilled to be part of the show as he personally loves horror as a genre.
“Barun Rai and the House on the Cliff is a bit different from what we have seen before as it mixes the elements of science with horror. I would love to know the audiences’ reactions to this series,” Chatterjee said in a statement.
