Varun Dhawan’s Career-Defining Role: Baby John
Varun Dhawan is portraying a mass action hero in this film. We recently saw Varun as an action hero in the TV series Citadel: Honey Boney, where he delivered an outstanding performance alongside Samantha Ruth Prabhu. This film is a crucial project for Varun’s career. While he has showcased his exceptional acting skills in movies like Badlapur and October, none of his films have crossed the ₹250 crore mark. However, with Baby John, expectations are high, and it’s anticipated to surpass ₹500 crores at the box office.
Varun Dhawan movies and their box office collection:
| Movie Name | Budget | Box Office Collection |
| October | 33 Crore | 59 Crore |

Salman Khan’s Cameo: Baby John
There is a special cameo by Salman Khan in this movie. Salman plays the role of a mentor to Varun’s character. While the movie is directed by Kalees, Salman’s cameo is directed by Atlee himself. As we all know, Salman has a massive fanbase, which will undoubtedly help attract a wider audience.
Salman Khan’s last movie, Tiger 3, was released in 2023. He also made a brief appearance in Singham Again during the post-credit scene. However, this cameo didn’t offer anything special to excite fans, leaving them eagerly waiting to see him shine on the big screen again.
According to some rumors, Atlee is set to collaborate with Salman Khan for an upcoming movie. However, there is no confirmation about that movie, whether it is a different story or related to Baby John.
This movie is showing us a father-daughter bond, which is making Baby John more than just an action-packed drama—it’s a celebration of family and unconditional love.
