Alia Bhatt said about coming on board as the executive producer of Poacher
“It is an honor for me and the entire team at Eternal Sunshine Productions to be a part of this incredibly important project. Poacher's impact was very personal, and Richie's portrayal of the urgent issue of wildlife crime resonated strongly with me and my team. I was genuinely impressed by the storytelling in Poacher, which is based on true events that shed light on the heinous crimes taking place in our forests. I'm sure Poacher will open our eyes by giving us a powerful message to be more compassionate and considerate of all living things. It's a call to embrace coexistence, and I'm genuinely excited to collaborate with Richie, QC, and Prime Video and contribute to this story in my own way.
Prime Video, the preferred entertainment destination in India, has announced the launch of its first television series, Amazon Original Crime Series Poacher. QC Entertainment is the Oscar-winning production finance company behind popular feature films like Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman and Jordan Peele's Get Out.
Poacher is a fictionalized account of events that occurred in the concrete jungles of Delhi and the deep forests of Kerala, based on court documents and evidence. The show highlights the extraordinary efforts of Indian Forest Service personnel, Wildlife Trust of India NGO workers, police constables, and good Samaritans who put their lives in danger to look into the biggest ivory poaching group in Indian history. Poacher was mostly shot in Malayalam, Hindi, and English, and it was set in actual locations in Kerala and New Delhi to maintain the story's authenticity.
The Poacher series will premiere on Prime Video on February 23, 2024, in India and over 240 countries worldwide. The eight-episode series' first three episodes were well appreciated by viewers when they debuted at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.
Synopsis
Since the events of the story take place in 2015, the revelation by a watcher of nearly 18 elephant deaths shocked the forest department because it represented an unprecedented level of poaching. To identify the perpetrators, they chose to conduct a covert investigation. Alan, a wildlife conservationist, joins Mala Jogi, who is tasked with leading the inquiry by senior officer Neel Bannerjee. We see in Poacher how the team locates the connections to this large-scale enterprise.
