Varun Dhawan, who gears up for the release of his action-packed drama film Baby John, visited Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain.
Accompanied by filmmaker Atlee and his wife, Priya Atlee as well as his leading actresses Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi, Dhawan attended Aarti ceremony and sought a blessing ahead of the much awaited release.
Speaking to the media after offering prayers, Varun said, "It was a very good feeling offering prayers here at the temple. God is bigger than the film. I just prayed that people go and watch the movie."
Baby John releases in cinemas on December 25 coinciding with Christmas. The movie has been directed by Kalees and it is an adaptation of the 2016 blockbuster Tamil blockbuster Theri, by Atlee from his own. The leading cast included Thalapathy Vijay, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Amy Jackson. Varun Dhawan's movie will be up against stiff competition from Pushpa 2: The Rule, which is going great guns at the Hindi box office.
Starring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil, the pan-India sequel has already become the highest-grossing Hindi film ever with its domestic net collections of over Rs 700 crore in just the Hindi language.
Baby John is produced by Murad Khetani, Priya Atlee, and Jyoti Deshpande under their banners JioStudios, A for Apple Studios, and Cine1 Studios. The film will see Varun Dhawan play a cop named Satya Verma and John, his alter ego. Sanya Malhotra will also be seen in a small role, while Salman Khan will make an action-packed explosive cameo.
