**Abhishek Banerjee’s ‘Stolen’ Bags Two Asian Academy Nominations**

Actor-producer Abhishek Banerjee is celebrating as his film *Stolen* has secured two prestigious nominations at the Asian Academy Creative Awards (AACA) 2025. The film’s director, Karan Tejpal, marking his directorial debut, was nominated for Best Director, while *Stolen* itself received a nod for Best Feature Film (Fiction).
“I feel *Stolen* was made for a universal audience. Thanks to the guts of Gaurav [Dhingra, producer] and Karan, it’s representing India at this prestigious event,” Banerjee told *Mid-day*.
### About the Film
Set in rural India, *Stolen* stars Abhishek Banerjee alongside Shubham Vardhan and Mia Maelzer. The story centers around two brothers who embark on a mission to help a woman rescue her kidnapped child.
Banerjee reflected on the film’s journey and the nominations, saying, “It’s not easy to stand by a film like this. It’s not a big-budget spectacle or a formulaic drama— but that was the reason we wanted to do it.”
### Director’s Vision Praised
Banerjee lauded Karan Tejpal for his sensitive and sincere approach to the narrative. “Karan brought sensitivity to the subject. He never treated it like just another thriller; he wanted it to be honest and human,” Banerjee said. “It takes courage for a debut director to stick to his vision the way Karan did.”
*Stolen* will be competing against notable films such as *Lembayung* (Indonesia), *Bullet Train Explosion* (Japan), and *Though Dead, Still Alive* (Taiwan) in the Best Feature Film (Fiction) category.
