On the occasion of Varun Dhawan’s birthday, producer Murad Khetani, who is backing his upcoming film Baby John along with Atlee, shared a new poster of the film on Instagram on Wednesday. Directed by Kalees, the film will also star Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, Jackie Shroff, and Rajpal Yadav in pivotal roles.

In the dark-blue tainted poster, Varun can be seen punching a man in the neck as blood spatters while being drenched in the rain. Murad also wished Varun in the poster’s caption, “Happy Birthday to the force behind #BabyJohn @varundvn Brace yourselves for an unforgettable cinematic experience. #BabyJohn coming soon!”

Earlier, a first-look video of the film was unveiled, which showed Varun in an action avatar. Along with that, a poster was released where Varun dons an intense look as he stands holding a sharp weapon in his hand. He wears a ponytail on his head, and it was superimposed with a mythological figure in the background. It featured the quote, “No beast is more savage than man when possessed with power answerable to his rage.”

Baby John is presented by Atlee and produced by Murad Khetani, Priya Atlee and Jyoti Deshpande. It will be released in theatres on May 31.
