Varun Dhawan plays the lead role in Baby John.

The ‘taster cut’ of Varun Dhawan’s highly anticipated film Baby John was unveiled on Monday, showcasing the actor in a never-before-seen avatar. This high-octane action film is an adaptation of Vijay’s blockbuster Theri, reimagined on a grand scale with intensified action and heightened drama. Theri was directed by Atlee and starred Vijay in the lead role. Baby John also has Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi in important roles.

The teaser begins with the voiceover of a child, who is the daughter of Varun’s character in the film. Varun enters the frame as a police officer who faces an attack from a mob. This massy masala film features Varun fighting goons while simultaneous scenes also show him cooking a meal in the kitchen. Displaying his action avatar, he delivers heavy dialogues like, “Mere jaise bahot aaye honge, main pehli baar aaya hun (Many might have come before me, but I am here for the first time).”
