Poor bookings for Baby John in Telugu states
Published on Dec 24, 2024 6:58 pm IST

Telugu audiences are known for their love of cinema and their unwavering support for films from all languages, irrespective of the cast or crew. Many actors from other industries have often praised Telugus as true movie enthusiasts.

Baby John, one of Bollywood’s most anticipated releases, is set to hit theaters tomorrow with decent expectations. While the advance bookings in the Hindi belt have been impressive, the response in the Telugu states has been lukewarm. Despite well-executed promotional efforts, the film has struggled to generate interest, with many theaters reporting less than half occupancy in advance bookings. A positive word-of-mouth buzz on its release day could help the Kalees-directed film gain momentum and attract Telugu audiences to the cinemas.

Starring Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Jackie Shroff in prominent roles, Baby John is produced by Priya Atlee, Murad Khetani, and Jyoti Deshpande under A for Apple Studios and Cine1 Studios. Presented by Atlee and Jio Studios, the film features music composed by Thaman.
