After 2 years, Varun Dhawan is back on the big screen with Baby John. Directed by Khalees, the action thriller is a Hindi adaptation of Atlee's Tamil film Their. Varun's film was released in theatres on December 25, 2024, and received mixed responses from the fans and audience. On its first day, the film collected an estimated Rs 11.25 crore at the box office. The second-day collection is now out and doesn't look good, despite being a holiday (Christmas) release.
As per a report, Varun Dhawan's Baby John collected an estimated Rs 4.50 crore on its second day. It's a major dip in numbers compared to the average box office collection on its first day. As reported by the entertainment news portal Sacnilk, the total collection of Baby John is now Rs 15.75 crore at the box office.
Baby John also stars Jackie Shroff, Keerthy Suresh, and Wamiqa Gabbi. Superstar Salman Khan has a special cameo in the film. The Tamil film stars Vijay and Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the leading roles. Atlee has directed Varun's film. Earlier, in an interview, the Bhediya star compared his latest film to an Indian Thali.
While talking to Variety, Varun said that in his childhood, he loved a film called Hum by Mukul Anand in which Amitabh Bachchan plays a dual identity kind of character. According to Varun, his latest film has similar themes. "It also has another theme of protection of women in this country and how it's done. And there's a solution also for it, which is good parenting versus bad parenting. It's almost like an Indian Thali [platter], which has every different cultural cuisine," said the October actor.
