Debut filmmaker Mithun Balaji directs Stephen and marks the first lead role of Gomathi Shankar, who also co-wrote the film. The story dives deep into themes of guilt, memory, morality, and the strange ways the human mind works.

With its tense atmosphere and eerie background score, the film builds a strong sense of mystery right from the start.

Talking about playing the lead for the first time, Gomathi Shankar said that the role was challenging but extremely fulfilling. He shared that the character of Stephen is unpredictable and layered, which made the process both exciting and difficult.

He thanked director Mithun Balaji for trusting him and Netflix for giving the film a global platform. “I’m so glad my journey begins with a film and a character like Stephen,” he said.

Director Mithun Balaji described the film as a “quiet story that says a lot,” adding that making it felt personal and risky at the same time. He praised Gomathi for bringing honesty and depth to the character and thanked Netflix for supporting a first-time filmmaker.

The film slowly moves from a simple mystery to a deeper psychological journey, turning from a whodunnit into a why-dunnit. Viewers are invited to question every detail as memories twist and truths shift.

Stephen starts streaming on Netflix on December 5.
