Emmy-award winning director Richie Mehta, renowned for the critically acclaimed series “Delhi Crime,” is set to captivate audiences once again with his latest creation, “Poacher.” This crime drama, produced by the Oscar-winning QC Entertainment, known for hits like “Get Out” and “BlacKkKlansman,” is scheduled to premiere on Prime Video on February 23.
A diverse and talented cast, including Nimisha Sajayan, Roshan Mathew, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya, takes center stage in this eight-episode series that has already garnered critical acclaim at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.
Details:
“Poacher” is a fictional dramatization based on court documents and testimonials, shedding light on events that unfolded in the dense forests of Kerala and the urban sprawl of Delhi. The series unfolds the gripping narrative of Indian forest service officers, NGO workers, police constables, and altruistic individuals who risked their lives to uncover the largest ivory poaching ring in Indian history.
Filmed in the picturesque landscapes of Kerala and the bustling streets of New Delhi, “Poacher” unfolds primarily in Malayalam, Hindi, and English. The series promises an edge-of-the-seat experience, engaging audiences globally with its compelling narrative.
Prime Video India’s director of content licensing, Manish Menghani, expressed excitement about presenting this deeply researched and powerfully conceptualized investigative crime series. He believes “Poacher” has the potential to raise awareness and inspire communities to take action against environmental threats.
Mehta’s Dedication:
For Mehta, who invested four years in researching the intricate world of crime fighting portrayed in “Poacher,” this series marks another venture into the true-crime genre following the success of Netflix’s “Delhi Crime.” Mehta is enthusiastic about partnering with Prime Video to bring “Poacher” to a worldwide audience.
Working closely with QC Entertainment and a talented team, Mehta acknowledges the collaborative effort that has brought this project to life. Executive produced by QC Entertainment’s Edward H. Hamm Jr., Raymond Mansfield, and Sean McKittrick, “Poacher” is a result of creative synergy and emotional engagement.
As viewers eagerly await the premiere of “Poacher” on Prime Video, Mehta’s dedication to exploring the complexities of crime fighting promises a riveting experience. The series not only entertains but also aims to shed light on the crucial role played by individuals in combating environmental threats.
“Poacher” invites audiences to reflect on the far-reaching impact of human actions on the environment and serves as a call to action. With its intriguing storyline and exceptional cast, Mehta’s latest creation is poised to leave an indelible mark on the crime drama genre.
