Alia Bhatt comes onboard for crime series Poacher as executive producer

Prime Video recently announced that actor, producer and entrepreneur Alia Bhatt has come onboard as executive producer for its upcoming Amazon Original series, Poacher.

An investigative crime series based on true events, Poacher, unearths the largest ivory poaching ring in Indian history. Emmy-award winning filmmaker Richie Mehta has created, written and directed the series, which boasts of a diverse and talented cast, comprising Nimisha Sajayan, Roshan Mathew and Dibyendu Bhattacharya in pivotal roles.

Poacher, which unfolds primarily in Malayalam, Hindi and English, is set to premiere on February 23.

Talking about coming onboard as the executive producer for Poacher, Alia Bhatt says, “Being part of this incredibly significant project is an honour, for both me and the entire team at Eternal Sunshine Productions. The impact of Poacher was deeply personal, and Richie’s portrayal of the urgent issue of wildlife crime resonated strongly with me and the team. The storytelling genuinely moved me, especially knowing it’s based on true events that sheds light on brutal crimes occurring in our forests. I am confident that Poacher will serve as an eye-opener, delivering a powerful message to be more compassionate and considerate towards all living beings. It’s a call to embrace co-existence and I am genuinely thrilled to be collaborating with Richie, QC and Prime Video and to contribute to this narrative.”
