Alia Bhatt Turns Executive Producer With Richie Mehta’s ‘Poacher’

Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt is all set to go behind the camera, and has collaborated with filmmaker Richie Mehta for the upcoming series ‘Poacher.’

Alia has come onboard as the executive producer for the crime series which will be directed by ‘Delhi Crime’ filmmaker, Richie Mehta. The series will stream on Prime Video from February 23 in multiple languages including Malayalam, Hindi and English.

Prime Video announced today (6 February) that Alia Bhatt has come on board as the Executive Producer for its upcoming Amazon Original Series Poacher, produced by QC Entertainment. An investigative crime series based on true events, Poacher unearths the largest ivory poaching ring in Indian history. A first-of-its-kind project, Poacher brings the world of environmental conservation and entertainment together with the intent of highlighting a key global concern – illegal poaching.

Talking about coming on board as the executive producer for ‘Poacher’, Alia reportedly said, “Being part of this incredibly significant project is an honor, 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 shed 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.”
