Varun Dhawan is an actor who has dabbled in several genres, challenging himself more with each release. May it be comedy, romance, drama, or his very entertaining action comedies. But we have never witnessed him in an out-and-out actioner, which is why the announcement of Baby John was a delightful surprise for audiences.

An official remake of filmmaker Atlee's Tamil film Theri (2016), this project will showcase Varun in a never-seen-before avatar. How do we know? Well, the teaser taster cut of Baby John which released in theatres today has now been leaked on social media. And trust us, it will blow you away.

A post shared by VarunDhawan (@varundvn) The almost 2-minute long clip begins with a little girl explaining how a group of ants can bring down even an elephant. We then get glimpses of Varun as Baby John , who cannot be described in just one word. He is seen as a badass cop, an action hero, a cook and finally, a doting daddy to his daughter.

The thrilling and intriguing teaser is just a taste of the high-octane actioner coming our way on Christmas this year. And it will surely leave you wanting more! Varun as Baby looks exceptional, making it hard for you to look away as he performs his stunts in slo-mo. We also get a glimpse of Wamiqa Gabbi, Keerthy Suresh and Jackie Shroff who will be seen as the antagonist.

Well, this teaser truly took our breath away. This is the first time that Varun will be seen as a ‘girl dad’ on the silver screen, just a few months after beco.
