Baby John: Movie Overview
Baby John is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Kalees and produced by Atlee, Murad Khetani and Jyoti Deshpande under Jio Studios, Cine1 Studios and A for Apple Productions. The film is a remake of Atlee’s Tamil film Theri (2016). It stars Varun Dhawan in the title role, alongside Keerthy Suresh (in her first Hindi film), Wamiqa Gabbi, and Jackie Shroff.
The film was announced in July 2023 with the working title VD18, and got its official title in February 2024. Principal photography began in August 2023 and ended in April 2024, held in Mumbai and Kerala. The technical crew consists of musician Thaman S, editor Ruben and cinematographer Kiran Koushik. It is scheduled to release on 25 December 2024.
Baby John, a former police officer, fakes his death and goes into hiding as a baker to bring up his daughter in a safe environment, but trouble ensues when their life gets threatened by Baby John’s past enemies and Baby John must face his past to protect his daughter.
In late April 2020, it was reported that Varun Dhawan was approached to play the lead role in the official Hindi remake of Theri (2016). However, it was undisclosed whether Atlee, the director of the original film, would direct the venture or give the role to someone else. Reportedly, the director had met the actor in Mumbai during 2019 to discuss the possibilities of a possible collaboration in the near future. In March 2022, the production for the project was reported to begin soon as Dhawan had reportedly completed his consisting commitments. According to reports, Atlee and Dhawan met again to finalise the project. On 19 March, the collaboration of both was publicly announced. Tentatively titled as VD18, instead of directing it, Atlee was revealed to produce the project under his house A for Apple Productions, along with Murad Khetani’s Cine1 Studios. Kalees, who is a former assistant of Atlee and the director of the 2019 techno-thriller film Kee, was hired to direct the project. The official title Baby John was announced on 5 February 2024.
Thaman S composed the soundtrack and background score, in his first solo Hindi film. Singer Shreya Ghoshal has rendered her to a song in the film.
In July 2023, it was announced that the film was planned to be released on 31 May 2024, but it was later postponed to 25 December 2024.
