Varun Dhawan's latest release Baby John failed to do well at the box office, leaving the actor's entry into big-scale action films incomplete. Directed by Kalees and produced by Atlee, the film was a remake of the Tamil blockbuster Theri starring Thalapathy Vijay in the lead role. While Varun remained mum about the film's poor performance, co-star Rajpal Yadav recently shed light on the reasons behind its failure and shared details about Varun's reaction. Rajpal Yadav reflects on the film's reception In an interview, Rajpal Yadav revealed his thoughts on why Baby John did poorly. He said, "It was a well-made film in every way, but it did not succeed because it was a remake of the Tamil film Theri. Since Vijay had already done it, the audience had seen it, and that affected the box office." Rajpal said that if the film was not a remake, it could have been one of the most well-crafted films of his 25-year career." How Varun Dhawan took failure When asked if Varun Dhawan is disappointed with the film's success, Rajpal Yadav dismissed such speculations. Rajpal said, "Varun is a very sweet guy, very hardworking. He has always tried to do something different, and his efforts should be appreciated because taking risks is a big thing." About the film Varun Dhawan's film "Baby John" is an action-drama film, which is being said to be a Hindi remake of the Tamil superhit film "Theri". However, this film did not live up to the expectations of the audience and could not perform well at the box office. "Baby John" is the story of a police officer who struggles to save his family and take revenge on his enemies. Emotional and action sequences have been given prominence in the film. At present, the remake factor is being cited as the reason for the film's failure. Regarding the film, Rajpal Yadav and other actors admitted that being a remake of a popular film like Theri, it was compared to the original, which led to a negative response. The story and characters in the Hindi remake were not presented effectively to the level that the audience wanted. Baby John also starred Keerthy Suresh, Vamika Gabbi, and Jackie Shroff in lead roles, with Rajpal playing Constable Ram Sewak, a loyal deputy to Varun's character, DCP Satya Verma. Despite the film's failure, Rajpal's performance, especially his first action scene, received some praise from critics.
