Impressed By Varun Dhawan’s Action In Baby John Trailer? He Performed “Nearly All The Stunts” Himself

Atlee and Varun Dhawan are super busy with the promotions of Baby John. The film will showcase Varun in a never-seen-before avatar. The actor recently opened up about shooting the action sequences in the film. 

In an interview with News18, Varun Dhawan revealed that most of the stunts in the film were performed by him, not his body double. He said, “The scale of action in this film is massive, and I’ve personally performed nearly all the stunts myself, with minimal use of a body double.”

Varun Dhawan added that the action directors had him hanging upside down for over six hours, proving his “endurance like never before”. 

For director Kalees, Varun Dhawan said, “Working with Kalees was a challenge in the best way—he pushed me to explore my physical limits every day.” 

He continued, “I remember Atlee stepping in at one point to remind us to prioritise safety and not let the pursuit of perfection lead to unnecessary risks. It’s been a tough but fulfilling journey.” 

Kalees, who joined Varun Dhawan during the interview, also shared his thoughts on the film’s action sequences. He said, “We were fortunate to have assembled a team of eight renowned action directors, each bringing their unique expertise to craft distinct and thrilling fight sequences. It was an absolute privilege to collaborate with the crème de la crème of action directors from both India and abroad, resulting in a truly exceptional cinematic experience.”

Baby John has been jointly backed by Atlee’s A for Apple Studios, Cine1 Studios, Jio Studios and Vipin Agnihotri Films. Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, Jackie Shroff, and Rajpal Yadav are also part of the film.
