Poacher gets star power as Alia Bhatt turns executive producer for this crime thriller

Yesterday we saw the announcement that Alia Bhatt is now an executive producer for the crime series “Poacher”. Created by Richie Mehta, an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, the series stars Nimisha Sajayan, Roshan Mathew, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya in key roles.

Sharing the poster of the series, the makers took to social media and wrote, “Beneath the silence, the forest reveals a deadly conspiracy… and the hunt for the Poacher begins! Alia Bhatt comes on board as #ExecutiveProducer on #PoacherOnPrime, a new Amazon Original Crime series, Feb 23.”

“Poacher” is a true crime investigative series exploring ivory poaching in India. Combining environmental awareness and entertainment, it aims to highlight the issue of illegal poaching. Richie serves as the series’ creator, writer, and director. It will be accessible in Malayalam, Hindi, and English languages.

Talking about coming on board as the Executive Producer for Poacher, Alia Bhatt shared, “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 coexistence and I am genuinely thrilled to be collaborating with Richie, QC and Prime Video and to contribute to this narrative.”

“Poacher” is executive produced by QC Entertainment’s Edward H. Hamm Jr., Raymond Mansfield, and Sean McKittrick, along with Suitable Pictures, Poor Man’s Productions, and Eternal Sunshine Productions. Alan McAlex from Suitable Pictures serves as the producer. Crew members from “Delhi Crime” include Director of Photography Johan Aidt, composer Andrew Lockington, and editor Beverley Mills.
