Alia is the sponsor of the series, which is run by Eternal Sunshine Productions.
Alongside Dibyendu Bhattacharya and Nimisha Sajayan in the series, Roshan Matthew also posted an Instagram photo of Poacher's title card.
The 31-year-old actor, who starred with Alia in Darlings, suggested that people watch the program in Malayalam as that is the language in which the producers filmed it. He noted that all other language selections had dubbed voices. "This is the version where the spoken language changes to Hindi and English situationally, the way we shot this show," he stated.
In the midst of widespread elephant poaching in Kerala, Poacher centers on a group of non-governmental organization employees and forest officers who go out on a quest to disrupt a multitrillion dollar ivory smuggling network.
