Actress Alia Bhatt is the executive producer for Amazon Prime's upcoming show Poacher. Directed by Richie Mehta, the show is based on true events, and the characters are inspired by real people. Poacher stars Roshan Mathew, Nimisha Sajayan, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya in the lead roles. At the trailer launch, Alia shared the moment when she came on board. She revealed it happened just a few days before her daughter Raha was born. Sharing that incident, Alia said, "Richie and I met in 2022. I was heavily pregnant and just about to deliver Raha. We spoke about everything from parenting to art. That is when he introduced me to the world of Poacher, I was flabbergasted by the idea, I just couldn't stop watching it. Nimisha is outstanding, and Roshan and Dibyendu Sir are unbelievable in the series. At Eternal Sunshine Productions, we believe that we would like to be a part of stories that hold you, impact you, and stir some sort of conversation long after." Commenting on the concept of poaching and its harsh reality, Alia shared, "The way this impacted the people of Kerala, obviously not the same, but when I watched it, it had an impact on me too. When I was watching this I was in tears, I was thrilled. Supporting a story like this for us as an audience is important. There is a lot of genuineness and heart in this story."

The last time I was on a stage with her was a project that gave birth to Eternal Sunshine Productions. It was a song launch, that time Alia was my co-actor, I have always had a great deal of respect for her. As a person, Alia is someone who is driven by passion and works with that focus. I am very glad Alia was associated with this project." Poacher will come out on February 23 on prime Video.
