It was already established that Salman Khan would make a cameo in Baby John, as indicated by both the film's trailer and promotional content featuring Varun Dhawan. This cameo is not unexpected, considering the superstar's participation in Atlee's forthcoming Bollywood venture and his close association with Varun. However, what distinguishes Baby John is that this cameo significantly differs from his role in Theri, Atlee's acclaimed Tamil film from 2016.

The trailer suggests an action sequence featuring Salman, which is likely to excite his devoted fanbase—certainly a notable improvement over his previous cameo in Singham Again. Before delving into further details, a cautionary note for those who have yet to view the film: spoilers are forthcoming.

Salman Khan's initial appearance

The opening credits showcase a recording of Salman's distinctive voice, signalling his impending presence. He portrays a covert informant who supplies the police with crucial information regarding a significant girl trafficking operation. However, after this brief appearance, the superstar is entirely absent from the narrative until the mid-credit sequence, where Varun Dhawan's character, Satya Verma, triumphs over Jackie Shroff's Nanaji, the antagonist he has been battling throughout the film.

Despite the assumption that the women he attempted to traffic were implicated in Nanaji's murder, his trafficking network remains active. The storyline shifts to a cargo container two years post-climax, where Russian mobsters continue to bid on young women. Corrupt officer Yashraj (Prakash Belawadi) alerts the mobsters that agents are working to dismantle their operation. He has apprehended three agents: John (Satya), Tara (Wamiqa Gabbi), and Jackky (Rajpal Yadav).

Plot's climactic setup

Yashraj subsequently reveals the identity of another colleague—their superior. A black duffel bag obscures the man's face, and the gangsters compel him to kneel before them. As John approaches a thrilling climax, the restrained individual creates chaos and overcomes the gang. Once he frees himself, the masked figure reveals his true identity: a fully bearded Salman Khan, reminiscent of his appearance in Singham Again.

The title "Agent Bhai Jaan" appears on the screen. Bhai Jaan and John collaborate to defeat Yashraj and the entire criminal organization. At the conclusion of the scene, there is lighthearted banter, with Bhai Jaan teasing Tara by referring to her as a "bomb" before directing her to handle a real bomb. Following this, they break the fourth wall to extend holiday greetings to the audience—from Merry Christmas to Happy Onam—in a spirited manner.

Impact of Salman Khan's Cameo

Salman Khan's cameo does not influence the plot in any significant manner. Will his inclusion lead to a sequel? Although it may evoke memories of his cameo in Pathaan, the superstar does not indicate that this appearance guarantees a sequel. Much like Sanjay Dutt's cameo at the conclusion of Jawan, this appearance appears to serve more as an enjoyable addition rather than a clear pathway to a continuation.
