VD 18, Varun Dhawan’s next film, has been generating huge buzz on social media for a couple of days, ever since the title reveal date was announced. This afternoon, the makers finally revealed the official title for the much-talked-about movie. Varun Dhawan’s next movie is titled ‘Baby John’, and it is an action drama film. ‘Baby John’ will arguably be Varun Dhawan’s first out-and-out actioner.
The makers have also revealed the release date in theatres for ‘Baby John’. The action entertainer will premiere in theatres worldwide on 31st May, 2024.
‘Baby John’ comes from producers Jio Studios, Murad Khetani along with south director Atlee. Baby John is reportedly the official Hindi remake of Vijay’s Tamil blockbuster ‘Theri’, directed by Atlee. Hence, it makes sense that Atlee produces its Hindi remake. ‘Baby John’ will however not be directed by Atlee, but by upcoming Tamil director, and Atlee’s assistant, Kalees.
Interestingly, neither the makers nor Varun Dhawan himself has disclosed anywhere that Baby John is a remake of Theri. It is pure assumption on the part of trade watchers and media publications, going by past snippets of news and updates from the stakeholders.
Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan can be seen in a raw, smouldering and intense avatar in the teaser of Baby John. If the film is indeed a remake of Theri, he Varun Dhawan will play the role of an upright police officer who faces off against the killers of his family. Thalapathy Vijay had played the role in the original Tamil movie Theri.
Besides Varun Dhawan, Baby John stars Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi and Jackie Shroff in key roles. South music director Thaman S has composed the music of Baby John.
