The support from my partners, Abhishek and Karan, was invaluable.” He is thrilled about the film's success, noting, “We are trending globally just days after our launch, which is a testament to our collective effort.”

Industry Support and Future Prospects

Abhishek adds that despite the industry's challenges, ‘Stolen’ received significant backing. He remarks, “While there are often negative discussions about the industry, our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The support from directors like Nikkhil Advani and Anurag Kashyap was instrumental.”

Looking Ahead: The Future of Action Films

Concluding their discussion, Abhishek expresses hope for more films like ‘Stolen’, stating, “This is just the beginning. We are redefining action films, and I believe a sequel could be on the horizon.” ‘Stolen’ is currently available for streaming on Prime Video.
