Abhishek Banerjee and Shubham Vardhan Lead the Riveting Thriller
The trailer plunges viewers into a tense moment where a baby is abducted from Jhumpa (Mia Maelzer) while she sleeps at a lonely railway station. What follows is a gripping chase as brothers Raman (Shubham Vardhan) and Gautam (Abhishek Banerjee) join Jhumpa in a relentless pursuit through India’s remote, unforgiving backcountry. Facing hostile locals and dangerous terrain, their quest quickly becomes a battle not just for the missing child but for survival itself.
With raw emotional power and unrelenting intensity, the trailer immerses audiences in a world where lines between justice and revenge blur. Will Jhumpa reunite with her child? What challenges lie ahead for Raman and Gautam?
Director Karan Tejpal Shares His Vision
Karan Tejpal expressed, “Stolen is a raw, honest story about two contrasting worlds colliding unexpectedly. On the surface, it’s a taut action thriller, but its emotional weight lingers long after the credits roll. Set against a rugged, stark landscape, the film is elevated by powerhouse performances from Abhishek, Mia, and Shubham. The overwhelming response from international film festivals has been incredibly humbling and motivating. Having the support of visionary filmmakers like Anurag Kashyap, Kiran Rao, Nikkhil Advani, and Vikramaditya Motwane has reinforced my creative faith. I’m excited that Prime Video will bring Stolen to over 240 countries and territories worldwide.”
