Sam is into VFX and this was his debut film. He knew what kind of shots he actually wanted and he had amazing visions because he is a VFX guy and directing this whole story which is based on a true incident was amazing. Even then, the actors I worked with were senior actors like Priyanshu Chaterjee and Sid Makkar, we became really good friends and we would make sure that the scene brought a lot of energy. So, yeah, we had a lot of fun together and it was a good experience."On the question how she found this project different from others, Nyra replies: "I have never played someone from such an old era and half Bengali and obviously I have never been part of any horror movie. So, this was entirely a different experience."'Barun Rai and the House on the Cliff' is based on incidents, anecdotes and folktales from areas including East Bourne and other coastal areas in Britain.
