The trailer pulses with raw emotion and intensity, immersing viewers in a world where justice and vengeance blur - Will Jhumpa find her missing child? What fate awaits Raman and Gautam?
Talking about the film, actor Abhishek Banerjee said, “Stolen is India’s answer to raw, genre-driven filmmaking. The day I heard the story, I knew I wanted to be in the driver’s seat—just like my character, Gautam. Karan Tejpal, our director, is one of the freshest, most exciting minds I’ve come across. He’s here to stay, and I can’t wait for the world to see what he’s capable of. Our producer, Gaurav Dhingra, is passionate to the core about good filmmaking—we need more people like him in the industry. I’m thrilled for audiences across the globe to experience this gripping thriller when it premieres on Prime Video.”
Actor Mia Maelzer added, “Stolen has been a profound journey for me as an actor. Karan Tejpal’s vision and sensitivity as a director created a space where authenticity could truly flourish, guiding us to bring out the rawness and depth the story demands. Portraying Jhumpa meant delving into a character layered with complexity and emotional depth, a challenge that pushed my boundaries. The film’s powerful reception at festivals has been incredibly encouraging, and I’m thrilled that Prime Video is helping this unique story reach audiences worldwide.”
“When I first read the script of Stolen, I couldn’t shake it off.” said actor Shubham Vardhan. He added, “Playing the character of Raman challenged me, quietly and steadily — in all the ways that matter. There’s a deep emotional current running through him, and portraying that was both demanding and incredibly rewarding. Working with Karan was an incredible experience; his clarity of vision and trust in his actors created a space where we could really dive deep. I’m grateful that Stolen has found a global home on Prime Video, where its story can resonate far and wide.”
