“Baby John” Varun Dhawan’s Action Film That’s Not Just a Theri Remake
Ahead of the much-anticipated release of his action-packed thriller Baby John, Varun Dhawan opened up about the key differences between his upcoming film and the original Theri, a Vijay-starrer directed by Atlee. While fans are eagerly waiting to see the movie, Dhawan revealed some exciting changes that make Baby John a unique adaptation of Theri, and not just a mere remake.
A Fresh Take on a Familiar Story
During a recent event, Varun Dhawan explained that when the team decided to adapt Theri into Baby John, they had to make substantial changes to the script to suit the new context of the film. “The geography of the film was quite different,” Dhawan shared, pointing out that the film’s setting and cultural elements had to be tweaked for the Indian audience. He also made it clear that while Baby John borrows the essence of Theri, it is not a one-to-one remake. Fans who were expecting a scene-by-scene rehash of Theri may be in for a surprise.
Dhawan emphasized that Baby John should be seen as an adaptation rather than a direct remake of Theri. This approach, he believes, will give the film its own distinct identity, while still paying homage to the core of the original story.
A Unique Plotline with Real-Life Inspirations
In addition to changes in the script, Baby John also weaves in real-life events to make the story more relatable and grounded in reality. Varun didn’t delve into specifics, but he hinted that some aspects of the plot would resonate with the audience due to their basis in real situations. This brings a layer of authenticity to the film, giving it a deeper emotional connection with viewers.
Star-Studded Cast and Thrilling Action
Directed by Kalees, Baby John promises to be a roller-coaster ride of action and emotion. Apart from Varun Dhawan in the lead role, the film features a star-studded cast including the legendary Jackie Shroff, Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Rajpal Yadav. Each actor brings their own flair to the film, with pivotal roles that complement the intense action-packed narrative.
The film is shot by Kiran Koushik, with Ruben handling the editing. Baby John promises high-octane action scenes, gripping drama, and emotional depth. With the right mix of action and character development, it’s bound to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Release Date and Expectations
Baby John is set to hit theatres on December 25, just in time for the festive season. Produced by Murad Khetani, Priya Atlee, and Jyoti Deshpande, the film is expected to garner significant attention, especially with the hype around Varun Dhawan’s action-packed performance. With the changes in the script and the real-life inspiration incorporated into the story, Baby John is shaping up to be a film that stands on its own while offering something familiar to fans of Theri.
What Fans Can Expect
Baby John is not just another action thriller – it’s an intense, emotion-driven journey that combines action, drama, and real-world elements. Fans of Varun Dhawan can expect to see a more intense side of the actor, as he steps into a role that promises plenty of action and character depth.
