The makers of Stolen on Wednesday unveiled the gripping trailer of the upcoming film Stolen, which actor Abhishek Banerjee says is India’s answer to raw and genre-driven filmmaking.

Talking about the film, actor 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’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.” 

The trailer for Stolen opens with a heart-wrenching moment as a baby is snatched from her mother, Jhumpa’s arms, played by Mia Maelzer, as she sleeps 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.
