Baby John, starring Varun Dhawan, directed by Kalees, and produced by Atlee, hit theatres on Christmas.
The film is a remake of Atlee’s 2016 Tamil blockbuster Theri, which starred Thalapathy Vijay in the lead role.
Baby John closely follows Theri's storyline with minor plot adjustments. Varun Dhawan reprises Vijay's role as the lead character.
Keerthy Suresh plays the role originally portrayed by Samantha Ruth Prabhu, while Wamiqa Gabbi plays a reimagined version of Amy Jackson’s character.
The film features Jackie Shroff, Rajpal Yadav, and Sheeba Chaddha in key roles alongside Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, and Wamiqa Gabbi.
Theri was a commercial hit, grossing over Rs 150 crore worldwide, and stood among the top five highest-grossing Tamil films of its time.
Theri’s original Tamil version is available on Amazon Prime Video, but not in India. The Telugu dubbed version (Policeodu) is accessible on Prime Video India.
The Hindi dubbed version of Theri is available for free on YouTube through Goldmines, gaining popularity through cable TV reruns.
As Baby John releases, fans are eager to see how it aligns with Theri and what differences have been introduced in this action-packed remake.
