'Dhananjay' actor recalls psychological recce to jail cell

Anirban Bhattacharya, who is essaying the role of rape-murder convict Dhananjay Chatterjee, said it was a "psychological recce" for him when the actor visited his family before they started shooting.

Dhananjay was hanged to death in 2004.

"I had visited Dhananjay's family at Chhatna in Bankura as part of psychological recce and felt how a single incident could fill up the minds of the family members with bone- chilling darkness.

"We met his siblings. I will not comment whether he really committed the crime or not, but we were definitely affected after seeing the condition of the members of his family and how they are still coping with the incident of hanging," Anirban told
