Varun Dhawan is gearing up for his action avtaar with two back to back action projects, one being Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK’s Citadel: Honey Bunny and the other being Atlee and Kalees’ Baby John. While Citadel is up for release on 7th November, Baby John is going to be a Christmas day release.

Baby John is a Hindi remake of Atlee’s 2016 film Theri, which starred Thalapathy Vijay, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson in the lead. The film, for some reason is now referred to as Policeodu on OTT platform. The makers released the taster cut of Baby John on Monday, which received a massive response from the audience as it crossed 1.7 crore views in less than 24 hours.
This will be the first time Varun would be doing out and out action on the big screen. And while going through the teaser, we noticed something extremely interesting. In a particular fight sequence, Varun is seen bare chested and wearing a black lungi and performing action, and it looks eerily similar to Varun’s favourite wrestler The Rock- Dwayne Johnson’s look from his superhit film Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw which released in 2019. In the Hollywood film, Rock wears the lungi or lavalava ( traditional male attire from Samoan mythology and history) for the climax of the film. This would not be the first time Varun has recreated Rock’s look, even in one of his earlier films Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, he has recreated Rock’s chest tattoo for the song Saturday Saturday.
Baby John also features Keerthi Shetty, Wamiqa Gabbi , Jackie Shroff and a cameo by Salman Khan.
