In recent times, the trend of remakes has not worked in favour of Bollywood. While Kabir Singh ( Arjun Reddy remake) turned out to be a box-office blockbuster, Shehzada ( Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo remake) and Jersey (remake of the Nani starrer of the same name) didn’t garner any footfalls. Recently, the trailer of Varun Dhawan, Samantha Ruth Prabhu & Wamiqa Gabbi starrer Baby John was released and it garnered a positive response.

For the unversed, it is the remake of Atlee’s directorial Theri , which featured Thalapathy Vijay, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson. #BabyJohnTrailer Action, fire, and unstoppable GOOD VIBES! 💥 Baby John brings it all! ❤️‍🔥 #BabyJohnTrailer out now! 🔗: https://t.co/n278pJBUhl As the film is gearing up for the Christmas release, it is expected to open well at the box office.



However, observing the history of remakes, one would question Baby John’s success at the box office. Sharing the prediction for Baby John , prominent trade expert & industry tracker Ramesh Bala said, “I think it will do well because many people haven’t seen Theri in Hindi. They’re not going to say anything about Theri.

Baby John is not like the scene-to-scene remake as they have made some changes. So if the movie is good, I think it really has the potential to do well.” Baby John is directed by Kalees and co-produced by Atlee, who directed Theri.

The film also stars Jackie Shroff, Zara Zyanna, Rajpal Yadav and Sheeba Chadha in supporting roles with a cameo of megastar Salman Khan. The movie marks the Bollywood debut of Keerthy Suresh. Baby John ’s music has been Thaman S while the editing is handled by Ruben.

The camera is cranked by Kiran Koushik. It is produced under Jio Studios, Cine1 Studios and A for Apple Productions..
