Stolen trailer: Abhishek Banerjee, a missing child, and mayhem

The trailer of crime-thriller Stolen, starring Abhishek Banerjee, Shubham Vardhan and Mia Maelzer, was unveiled by the makers on Wednesday. Helmed by debutant director Karan Tejpal, the film has been co-written by him along with Gaurav Dhingra and Swapnil Salkar-Agadbumb. Gaurav has also produced the film which also boasts of executive producers like Anurag Kashyap, Kiran Rao, Nikkhil Advani, and Vikramaditya Motwane.

The trailer opens with a baby being stolen from her mother Jhumpa (Mia Maelzer) while she is sleeping at a desolate railway station. What follows is a relentless pursuit, as brothers Raman and Gautam, played by Shubham Vardhan and Abhishek Banerjee respectively, join Jhumpa as they navigate treacherous terrain while hunting for the missing child. Deep in India's remote hinterlands, with hostile locals threatening their lives, their search evolves into a desperate fight for survival.

“With Stolen, I set out to tell a raw and honest story about two starkly different worlds that collide in unexpected ways.” said director Karan. “On the surface the film unfolds as a taut action thriller — but its emotional impact builds quietly, lingering long after the final frame."

Talking about the film, Abhishek 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 have come across. He’s here to stay.”

Stolen also features Harish Khanna and Sahidur Rahaman. The film will stream on Amazon Prime Video from June 4.
