Producer Gaurav Dhingra expressed his excitement for the film's Kerala premiere: "After the overwhelming response globally and in Mumbai, we're eager to present 'Stolen' to the audience in Kerala. Their feedback will be invaluable in gauging the film's reach and impact across India."

The IFFK, organized by the Kerala State Chalachitra Academy, is a cornerstone of Indian cinema. This year's festival, scheduled from December 8th to 15th, promises a vibrant celebration of film and provides a platform for "Stolen" to captivate a diverse audience.
