Varun Dhawan and Atlee's action-packed film likely to be titled ‘Baby John’

Bollywood star Varun Dhawan is all geared up to fulfill his action-hero dreams with an upcoming electrifying action entertainer tentatively titled 'VD18.' Teaming up with acclaimed director Atlee Kumar, the film has been creating quite a buzz even before an official title was announced. However, recent leaks on Reddit suggest that the film is likely to be titled 'Baby John,' a revelation that set social media abuzz and heightened anticipation among fans.

The leaked image of the film's certification details, revealing a UA certification from the CBFC, went viral, further fueling the excitement. Although an official announcement on the film's title is still pending, the leaked information has only added to the fervor surrounding the project.

Varun Dhawan, who recently wrapped up the Kochi schedule of the film, took to Instagram in December to express his gratitude to Kerala and mark the completion of this crucial phase of shooting. Describing the film as a "mass-action entertainer," Varun emphasized the high entertainment quotient it promises, affirming his commitment to giving it his all.

Reports suggest that 'VD18' is the Hindi remake of the blockbuster Tamil film ‘Theri,’ originally starring Thalapathy Vijay.

As Atlee Kumar, who delivered a massive hit with Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Jawan,’ is teaming up with Varun Dhawan, movie buffs are eagerly waiting for a completely packed commercial entertainer.
