Varun Dhawan’s first and only release of 2024 as lead, Baby John, was finally released on December 25 on the occasion of Christmas. The much-awaited actioner also stars Wamiqa Gabbi and Keerthy Suresh in pivotal roles. Since no other big films were released in cinemas during the festive season except for Baby John, it was expected to do good business at the box office. However, Baby John went head-to-head with Allu Arjun-starrer pan-India film Pushpa 2, which managed to dent the opening day figures of Varun Dhawan’s film.
