Baby John: Varun Dhawan Labels Atlee, Kalees' Film as One of His Toughest Ever; Here's Why

When it comes to South Indian cinema and mass appeal, Atlee's name stands out. After his film "Jawan" with Shah Rukh Khan grossed over Rs 1,000 crores worldwide, anticipation was high for his next project. Varun Dhawan, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Keerthy Suresh are set to star in "Baby John." Varun Dhawan's mass avatar in the first look garnered widespread appreciation. Directed by Kalees, the film is generating significant buzz.

The film's shoot, slated for release in May 2024, is progressing rapidly, currently on Day 70. Varun Dhawan has described it as his most challenging shoot yet, with intense filming sessions that extend into the night. "Baby John" follows the story of a cop who must assume a new identity and relocate to protect his family. Kalees, known for his Tamil sci-fi psychological thriller "Kee," has garnered both critical and audience acclaim.

Varun Dhawan, who is expecting his first child with Natasha Dalal later this year, has an exciting lineup of films, including "Citadel Hunny Bunny" with Samantha Ruth Prabhu on Amazon Prime Video and a cameo in "Stree 2." His dedication is evident in the chiselled physique he has built for "Baby John."
