Stolen is Karan Tejpal's first feature film as a director, and Prime Video unveiled the trailer for the investigative criminal thriller. The film, which stars Abhishek Banerjee, Harish Khanna, Mia Maelzer, Sahidur Rahaman, and Shubham Vardhan, will be available to stream starting June 4, 2025.

Creative team and backing from notable filmmakers

Stolen was written by Tejpal, Gaurav Dhingra, and Swapnil Salkar. It has the support of Jungle Book Studio and was produced by Gaurav Dhingra. Noteworthy filmmakers such as Anurag Kashyap (No Smoking), Kiran Rao, Nikkhil Advani (D-Day), and Vikramaditya Motwane (Trapped) serve as executive producers for the film.

Trailer sets the tone with chilling incident

An unsettling scene—a mother, Jhumpa (Mia Maelzer [Beyond the Clouds]), slumbers on a desolate railway platform as her infant daughter is kidnapped—sets the tone in the trailer. Then, for Jhumpa's aid, brothers Gautam (Abhishek Banerjee) and Raman (Shubham Vardhan) embark on a perilous and unknown quest to find the kid. The intertwining of justice and desperation is brought to light as the journey swiftly transforms into a survival fight.

Karan Tejpal reflects on the film’s depth

According Tejpal views Stolen as a genuine and realistic account of the unexpected interactions between two very distinct cultures. The movie seems to be a tense action thriller at first glance, he continued, but its emotional impact gradually increases and lingers with viewers long after the credits have finished. The filmmaker claimed that, against a rough, rocky backdrop, Abhishek, Mia, and Shubham give outstanding performances that advance the narrative. The journey thus far has been really rewarding for Tejpal, with an exceptionally positive and inspiring reception from festivals around the globe. With the support of renowned filmmakers like Kiran Rao, Anurag Kashyap, Nikkhil Advani, and Vikramaditya Motwane, he is now even more devoted to his artistic vision.

In his depiction of Gautam, Abhishek Banerjee

In reaction to genre-driven, unfiltered movies, India created Stolen, according to Abhishek. Ever since he heard the story, he has wanted to be behind the wheel, just like Gautam, his character. According to the actor, Tejpal has one of the most creative and interesting minds he has ever encountered. The filmmaker isn't going anywhere, according to Abhishek, and he's thrilled for others to see Tejpal's full potential. The performer further said that they truly require more producers like Gaurav Dhingra, who is genuinely dedicated to producing amazing films.

"A profound journey," as Mia called it. Tejpal's vision and sensitivity as a filmmaker, she claimed, established a space where authenticity could truly flourish, leading them to bring out the rawness and depth the story requires. It was a test of her emotional and intellectual limits to step into the shoes of Jhumpa. The help that Prime Video provided in bringing this special story to the world makes Mia very happy, and the film's motivational festival acceptance confirms her optimism.

The first time Shubham read the screenplay for Stolen, he said he couldn't stop thinking about it. Playing Raman's part put him to the test in every critical area, albeit in a delicate way. According to the performer, the character has a strong emotional current, and portraying that was both difficult and rewarding. The performers were able to delve into their work because of Tejpal's unwavering belief in them and his clear outlook. Knowing that Prime Video allows Stolen to connect with audiences worldwide makes his heart warm.

Stolen is about to begin streaming worldwide after a successful festival run.
