Varun Dhawan’s ‘Baby John’ Shows May Be Replaced By Hindi Version Of ‘Marco’

Mumbai: Just days after its release on Christmas day, Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh’s ‘Baby John’ is going to be replaced by the Hindi version of ‘Macro’ because of sluggish performance.

According to reports, ‘Baby John’, a remake of Vijay’s Tamil blockbuster ‘Theri,’ is struggling to stay afloat at the box office.

The movie has managed to mint a modest ₹19.65 crore till date, reported a trade website. Even superstar Salman Khan’s cameo couldn’t lift the film.

According to a Bollywood Hungama report, the shows of ‘Baby John’ will be replaced by the Hindi version of Malayalam Unni Mukundan-starrer ‘Marco’ in screens in north India.

Despite its violent content, the Haneef Adeni directed ‘Marco’, which released in theatres on December 20, has received good reviews.

“There’s a curiosity to see it (Marco) as many are claiming that Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ultra-violent film Animal (2023), looks like a kiddie movie, in front of Marco because of its excessive violent scenes. Hence, there’s a demand for it, and Baby John’s shows are being replaced with that of Marco and also films like Pushpa 2 and Mufasa: The Lion King,” a source said.
