"richie-mehta"

In 2023, actress Alia Bhatt was the face of the festival, and this year, Richie Mehta takes on the role of promoting sustainability and environmental consciousness through the lens of filmmaking.

An investigative crime series based on true events, "Poacher" unearths the largest ivory poaching ring in Indian history, the makers said.

The show, directed by Richie Mehta, deconstructs the case of the 23-year-old physiotherapy intern who was abducted and gangraped in a moving bus on the night of December 16, 2012 before she was abandoned on a Delhi road.

The veteran actor says it was not him that chose the films he has worked in, but the filmmakers who chose him.
