3 min readNew DelhiApr 9, 2026 09:50 PM IST On April 5, at the Chetak Screen Awards, Stolen, starring Abhishek Banerjee, emerged as one of the biggest winners in the OTT category, taking home four major honours—Best OTT Film, Best Director for Karan Tejpal, Best Actor (Male) for Banerjee, and Best Script. For the casting director-turned-actor, the film’s success is more than just a win—it’s a validation of independent filmmaking driven purely by passion, often without any certainty about its future. Reflecting on the win, Abhishek Banerjee told SCREEN: “I think there is immense level of satisfaction because when you work hard without knowing the future, I think that’s the extreme amount of passion anybody can put in any project. When you are doing a film from an ecosystem of Bollywood or the industry, you know it is going to release or going to come on OTT. But as an actor when you do a film like Stolen, you don’t know if it is ever going to see the light of the day.” Watch interview …

At the red carpet, she named Gone Girl as the biggest plot twist after some hesitation, that led to social media backlash and trolling. The actor had responded to the backlash at the time, and now, while hosting the Chetak Screen awards on Sunday, she revisited the moment with humour, saying she wished she had named a Bollywood film instead. During their fun banter, comedian Zakir Khan dopped actor Mohan Joshi’s iconic lines from Gunda, “Mera naam hai Pote, jo apne baap ke bhi nahi hote.” A surprised Alia guessed the film and tracked back to her answer at BAFTA. “Gunda! Oh my God, the biggest plot twist is Gunda. Why did I say Gone Girl?” she said. “Haan vahi mujhe laga, koi baat nahi, bade bade shehron mein aisi chotti chotti baatein hoti rehti hain (such small things keep happening),” …
