The taster cut of Atlee’s upcoming hardcore actioner ‘Baby John’ is finally out! Since its release, fans can’t keep calm over Varun Dhawan’s rugged look completed with chiselled abs. He dominates the short clip and promises fans a new avatar. While Varun boasts a versatile filmography and has headlined action dramas in films like ‘Badlapur,’ ‘Baby John’ gives him his first through and through actioner. The cut premiered exclusively in theatres and was attached to ‘Singham Again’ and ‘Bhool Bhualiyaa 3.’ Now, the makers have released it on the internet.
The upcoming title is the official remake of Atlee’s Tamil film ‘Theri’(2016). The cut opens with a little girl iterating that a united group of ants can even defeat the gigantic elephant. Enter Varun Dhawan sporting a rugged and grunge look and flaunting his chiselled physique. In the film, Varun wears several hats- that of a cop, a girl dad, an action star, and a cook. Heightening anticipations, the teaser promises a pulse-pounding and entertaining actioner. The teaser also presents glimpses of Wamiqa Gabbi, Keerthy Suresh and the menacing lead antagonist, Jackie Shroff.
Fans have flooded the comments section lauding the star for his raw and fierce look. Taking to X, one user penned, “#BabyJohnTasterCut review – Simply MIND BLOWN!!
