Alia Bhatt, an acclaimed actress, has featured in an awareness video for her upcoming crime series “Poacher.” On Monday, she took to Instagram to share a glimpse of the video, showcasing her amidst a jungle backdrop. In the footage, she sports casual attire and is depicted carrying a bag.
In the footage, a visibly shaken Alia scanned the jungle surroundings while law enforcement officers delved into a poaching investigation. Among the foliage, she stumbled upon a chilling scene: a loaded rifle, scattered bullet casings, and the stark outline of a lifeless elephant. Addressing the camera in Hindi, she lamented, “Ashok’s murder was reported at 9 this morning. It marks the third tragedy this month. His lifeless body lay before us, cruelly mutilated. Ashok was a mere ten years old. He never had the chance to confront his assailants.”
Additionally, she asserted, “They may believe they can evade justice, but they’re mistaken. Ashok’s identity doesn’t diminish the gravity of this crime. Murder remains murder, regardless of the victim’s background.”
Alia accompanied the post with the caption, “Even a brief stint in the jungle to film this awareness video left me with an eerie feeling. Murder is Murder… and I’m eager for you to witness the entire narrative unfold, directed by #RichieMehta and brought to life by our exceptional cast @nimisha_sajayan @roshan.matthew @dibyenduofficial.”
Based on the collective endeavors of Indian Forest Service officers, NGO volunteers, police personnel, and altruistic citizens, “Poacher” chronicles their daring quest for truth amidst danger. The series is executive produced by QC Entertainment’s Edward H. Hamm Jr., Raymond Mansfield, and Sean McKittrick, alongside Suitable Pictures, Poor Man’s Productions, and Eternal Sunshine Productions, highlighting their unwavering resolve in the face of adversity.

This gripping crime drama is set to make its global debut on Prime Video on February 23. This riveting crime drama is rooted in true events, shedding light on the clandestine operations of India’s largest ivory poaching network through a dramatized lens.
