Baby John is produced by Murad Khetani, Priya Atlee, and Jyoti Deshpande. This film is directed by Jio Studios in association with Atlee and Cine1 Studios.
The film is about DCP ‘Satya Verma’ (played by Varun Dhawan). He pretends to die to protect his daughter from a cunning politician, Babbar Sher. But as old foes return, Satya has to face his demons and battle to save his family.
Talking about the OTT release of the film, Varun Dhawan shared, “Baby John is a milestone project for me. It tested my limits as an actor, physically and emotionally.”
He further added, “Working with Atlee and sharing screen space with such a talented cast was a satisfying experience. I’m excited that the film will now be available to a global audience through Prime Video, a platform I have a great working relationship with.”

Box Office Earning
Initially referred to as VD18, Baby John experienced a poor theatrical run. Opening to a low ₹11.25 crore on the first day, the movie declined drastically on the second day to ₹4.25 crore.
The film, despite hype, concluded its box office stint in three weeks, grossing only ₹61 crore globally compared to a quoted budget of more than ₹150 crore.
Although its mixed-to-negative reviews by critics provided less than encouragement, its OTT release now provides the movie with a second opportunity to reach even more people. Action drama buffs can now stream Baby John on Prime Video.
