Alia Bhatt recently shared that her decision to be a part of the streaming show Poacher was a culmination of many factors.

The actor, who serves as the executive producer on the show, spoke to the media on Thursday on the sidelines of the trailer launch of the Malayalam series. She shared the stage with actors Dibyendu Bhattacharya and Roshan Mathew, the show's creator and director Richie Mehta and Prime Video executives.

Talking about her decision to serve as the executive producer of the show, Alia said: “I can’t point to just one thing that led me to become a part of this show as an executive producer. It’s many things put together that appealed to me like the brilliant narrative sketched by Richie, his hard work in terms of flawless research, a stellar cast of some of the best actors of the country put together and of course the potential impact of the show on the audience.”

She further mentioned: “Richie and the team including the actor have done such an amazing job that I teared up watching the series and it deeply impacted me. There are many scenes in the show which I can’t speak about right now but, my sister and I exchanged notes on scenes and these 3-4 scenes really stood out for us.”

Poacher stars Nimisha Sajayan, Roshan Mathew, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya in pivotal roles. It will start streaming on Prime Video from February 23.
