Excitement is building for Varun Dhawan's upcoming film Baby John with the release of a gripping teaser featuring Jackie Shroff in a never-seen-before avatar.
Playing the character Babbar Sher, Shroff exudes intensity as he walks through a prison, greeted by cheering inmates.
In a dramatic sequence, he smashes a mirror with his fist, his reflection fragmented, hinting at the chaos to come. The teaser takes a dark turn when he is seen striking a man with an axe and later smoking a pipe. The caption accompanying the teaser reads, "Get ready to meet the darkness you never saw. The evil of Baby John. #BabbarSher is coming for you."
Just a day earlier, the makers revealed a monochrome poster showcasing half of Jackie Shroff's face as he smokes a pipe, teasing his menacing role. Sharing the poster on social media, Shroff wrote, "Something big is coming... Stay tuned for the ultimate reveal!"
Directed by Kalees, Baby John marks the Bollywood debut of Keerthy Suresh, who stars alongside Wamiqa Gabbi, Sanya Malhotra, and Rajpal Yadav. The film's technical team boasts music by Thaman S, editing by Ruben, and cinematography by Kiran Koushik.
Baby John is the official Hindi remake of the Tamil hit Theri, which originally starred Thalapathy Vijay and Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
The story follows an ex-cop, Baby John, who fakes his death to protect his daughter, only to be forced back into the fray when his past catches up with him, leading to a high-stakes confrontation with old foes.
Produced by Atlee, Murad Khetani, and Jyoti Deshpande under Jio Studios, Cine1 Studios, and A for Apple Productions, Baby John is set to hit theaters on December 25, 2024, making it a thrilling Christmas release.
