Alia Bhatt-backed crime thriller series Poacher is trending at no. 1 position in India on Amazon Prime Video, the actress-producer said on Saturday, thanking fans for the love they have shown to the show that premiered on Friday.
Posting a picture of her kissing her pet cat Edward and posing in front of a TV screen featuring the Poacher title card, the actress wrote, .“& just within a day of its release, Poacher is #1 in India! So thrilled and excited for the love it’s receiving. To everyone who hasn't yet, watch now on @primevideoin.”

Alia has backed the series under the banner of Eternal Sunshine Productions.
Roshan Matthew, who features in the series alongside Dibyendu Bhattacharya and Nimisha Sajayan, also shared a picture with the title card of Poacher on Instagram.
The 31-year-old actor, who appeared in Darlings alongside Alia, recommended viewers to watch the show in Malayalam as it is the version in which it was shot by the makers. “This is the version where the spoken language changes to Hindi and English situationally, the way we shot this show,” he wrote, adding that all other language options have dubbed voices.
Poacher revolves around a team of NGO workers and forest officials who embark on a mission to bust a multi-trillion dollar ivory smuggling racket amidst rampant elephant poaching in Kerala.
Helmed by director Richie Mehta, known for his Emmy Award-winning Netflix series Delhi Crime starring Shefali Shah, Poacher also stars Kani Kusruti, Ankith Madhav, Suraj Pops, Ranjita Menon, Vinod Sherawat and Snoop Dinesh.
Johan Aidt has worked on the cinematography of the series, while Andrew Lockington has composed the music for the show. Also produced by QC Entertainment, Suitable Pictures and Poor Man’s Productions, Poacher premiered on Amazon Prime Video on Friday.
