After stealing the show at the Venice Film Festival, Abhishek Banerjee-starrer Stolen is now all set to be screened at Jio MAMI Mumbai International Film Festival.
Interestingly, ahead of the screening, the makers unveiled a riveting clip from the film, which follows the aftermath of the abduction of an impoverished mother’s five-month-old child, as wealthy brothers Gautam and Raman become involved in a harrowing journey to help her.
Sharing his thoughts about the released asset and the film as a whole, Abhishek said, "This was the most painful scene for me, not physically but emotionally. The question that stayed with me after the filming was – how can humans be so cruel to humans? Are we not from the same team? Stolen posed a lot of these questions for me and answered them alike."
He added, "The makers have created a gripping cinematic journey with a thought-provoking narrative based on true events. It’s a raw, intense and authentic film that keeps you on the edge. We hope that the film will get your heart racing."
Stolen narrates the tale of a five-month-old baby being abducted from her mother, and this incident draws the attention of brothers Gautam and Raman, leading them to face various challenges that test their relationships and convictions.
Helmed by writer-director Karan Tejpal, the film is backed by Gaurav Dhingra founder of Jungle Book Studio serving as the producer and writer on the film. The film also features Shubham and Mia Maelzer in key roles.
