Alia Bhatt On Turning Executive Producer For Poacher: "There Is A Lot Of Heart In It"

"It really leaves an impact... Supporting a story like this," said Alia Bhatt

Actor-producer Alia Bhatt on Thursday said she decided to support the upcoming web-series Poacher as it uncovers an important true-life story that's told with a lot of genuineness. Bhatt is an executive producer on the Prime Video series that marks director Richie Mehta's return to streaming space with a show after the first season of critically-acclaimed Netflix show Delhi Crime.

An eight-part crime drama based on true events; Poacher uncovers the largest ivory poaching ring in Indian history. The show, starring Nimisha Sajaya, Roshan Mathew and Debyendu Bhattacharya in prominent roles, starts streaming on Prime Video from February 23.

"It 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," Bhatt said at the trailer launch of the series.
