Baby John: Jackie Shroff goes rugged as the main antagonist in Varun Dhawan's action drama

Jackie Shroff's menacing look as the villain in Baby John has caught everyone's attention. The Varun Dhawan-starrer, produced by Atlee, promises a high-octane action-packed drama, and Jackie’s rugged avatar as the antagonist adds to the excitement.

In his first look, Jackie sports long, half-tied grey hair, vintage rings, and a face marked with cuts and bruises, perfectly embodying a ruthless character.

Baby John, directed by Kalees, is set to be a major Christmas release this year. The film not only showcases Varun Dhawan in an aggressive, never-seen-before role but also features an impressive ensemble cast, including Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, Sanya Malhotra, Rajpal Yadav, and Sheeba Chaddha.

The video teaser reveals Jackie Shroff's character walking through a prison, establishing his menacing presence. This is the first full-fledged glimpse of his antagonist role, following earlier teasers that focused on Varun Dhawan's intense character.

With music by S Thaman, Baby John is produced by Murad Khetani, Priya Atlee, and Jyoti Deshpande, in collaboration with Jio Studios, A for Apple Studios, and Cine1 Studios.

Another buzzworthy addition to the film is Salman Khan's cameo, which has been the subject of speculation for some time. His presence is expected to elevate the film's anticipation even further.
