Alia Bhatt, Richie Mehta and others attended the trailer launch of the upcoming Prime Video seres ‘Poacher.’ The series will premiere on the streaming giant on February 23.
Prime Video shared the trailer of the upcoming series, ‘Poacher.’ Created, written, and directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Richie Mehta, the upcoming series features Nimisha Sajayan, Roshan Mathew, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya in pivotal roles. The series is executive produced by Alia Bhatt.
Speaking at the launch Alia Bhatt said The series really leaves an impact… Supporting a story like this, for us, as an audience is very important but I really thank Richie for putting this together… I think there is a lot of genuineness in it. There is a lot of heart in it and it comes across when you see the show,”

Richie Mehta said the story came to him while he was working on a documentary project with Google, “India in a day” in 2015.
He had invited videos from across the country for the crowd-sourced project and one of them was about ivory raiding in Delhi and it came from the Wildlife Trust of India.
He started researching and got to know about wildlife crime fighters.
“I did not think that job title existed. I was so enamored by these people. The result of that is this series,” he said, adding that the show is a fictionalized dramatization of true events.
“It is inspired by the biggest poaching case in India. Many characters are an amalgamation of it and some of them are direct.”
Roshan Mathew, who plays the role of a computer programmer, said he was thrilled to be part of the series after he learned that it was to be directed by Mehta.
I was approached to audition for this series) The audition happened, and luckily, I got the part, then I got the script. It was such an exciting script, it’s all based on true events. It doesn’t follow a set structure or formula that you are familiar with,” he said, adding the character is completely different from who he is in real life.
Mathew said he feels honoured to collaborate with Bhatt again post their 2022 critically-acclaimed film, Darlings, which also marked Bhatt’s debut as a producer.
