Baby John Box Office Collection Day 10: Varun Dhawan Starrer Sees a Steep Fall In Revenue
Baby John, helmed by Kalees, stars Rajpal Yadav, Jackie Shroff, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Keerthy Suresh, in their central roles, with a cameo appearance by Salman Khan.
The movie is produced by Atlee’s A for Apple Studios, in partnership with Vipin Agnihotri Films, Cine1 Studios, and Jio Studios.
The Hindi remake of the 2016 Tamil film titled Theri, Baby John is directed by Atlee and originally starred Thalapathy Vijay in the lead role.
At the box office, Baby John is competing with Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule. The second film in the Pushpa series, directed by Sukumar and released on December 5, is performing impressively and attracting significant attention.
Atlee had earlier shared his perspective on the box office competition between Baby John and Pushpa 2. During a media interaction, he stated, “It’s part of the industry dynamics. Allu Arjun sir and I are good friends. We chose to release Baby John in the fourth week of December to avoid a direct clash.
He mentioned, “This shouldn’t be considered a clash, as there’s no conflict. We are aware that Pushpa 2 was rescheduled from August to December, and we planned Baby John’s release around Christmas. We are all professionals and know how to manage such situations.”
Atlee also remarked, “Allu Arjun congratulated me on the film and had a word with Varun. There’s a deep sense of camaraderie and mutual respect in this industry.”
Varun Dhawan’s reported fee for his lead role in Baby John was Rs 25 crore, with Keerthy Suresh earning Rs 4 crore. Jackie Shroff received Rs 1.50 crore, Rajpal Yadav earned Rs 1 crore, and Wamiqa Gabbi’s remuneration was Rs 40 lakh.
