While the poster maintains the "coming soon" release window, there have been recent rumours suggesting a possible delay. The film was previously announced for a May 31, 2024 release.

This high-octane action flick boasts an impressive cast alongside Dhawan. Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi are set to play pivotal roles in the film. The official announcement of the title came with a brief glimpse of Dhawan's character, Baby John.

According to a recent report in Peeping Moon, despite having been in production since August 2023 and having completed more than 75 days of shooting, the film still requires an additional 10-12 days of filming. This unexpected delay has pushed back the release date, with the makers now eyeing a debut in theatres sometime in June or July 2024.

The decision to postpone Baby John was not taken lightly, as the filmmakers are dedicated to delivering a polished and high-quality product to audiences. With extensive post-production work still ahead, meeting the original release date became increasingly improbable. However, fans can be rest assured that the delay is temporary, and the team behind Baby John is working diligently to bring their vision to life.

While the exact release date is yet to be finalized, industry insiders speculate that Baby John may make way for another highly anticipated film, Kalki 2898 AD. Starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan, this sci-fi epic could potentially fill the void left by Baby John on the calendar.

Produced by Atlee and Priya Atlee's A For Apple Studios, along with Murad Khetani's Cine1 Studios and Jyoti Deshpande for Jio Studios, Baby John boasts an ensemble cast that includes Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Jackie Shroff.
