At the trailer launch of Baby John in Pune, on Monday, Atlee, the writer and producer of Baby John, took a moment to thank Shah Rukh Khan, with whom he worked on the 2023 blockbuster Jawan. He said, “Shah Rukh Khan sir, without him, I wouldn’t have made it to Bollywood or directed a film. Now, I’m producing a film because of his support. Wherever you are, please bless us.”

The trailer launch of Baby John was a star-studded event, with Varun Dhawan accompanied by his co-stars Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi, along with director Kalees and producer Atlee. The event also saw producers Murad Khetani and Jyoti Deshpande, and celebrated music composer S. Thaman in attendance.

Baby John is set to release in cinemas on December 25, coinciding with Christmas. It will face competition from other releases like SRK’s Mufasa: The Lion King and Nana Patekar’s Vanvaas.
