About Baby John
Baby John is scheduled for theatrical release on December 25. Directed by Kalees, the film is an adaptation of Atlee's 2016 Tamil movie Theri. Varun Dhawan stars in the lead role, accompanied by Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi. Jackie Shroff portrays the antagonist in this action thriller, which also marks Keerthy's debut in Bollywood.
Despite the considerable excitement surrounding the film, it will encounter stiff competition from Pushpa 2: The Rule, featuring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil. Sukumar's direction has already seen the film achieving significant box office success and setting records since its release. In contrast, Baby John has reportedly sold only 50,000 tickets in advance bookings, generating ₹2 crore, according to Sacnilk.
Regarding Baby John, Varun Dhawan clarified at a press event that it should not be considered a remake of Theri. He stated, "When Atlee approached us with this film, he emphasized the need to alter many aspects of the original. We aimed to treat it as an adaptation rather than a direct remake, and that is precisely what we have accomplished."
