As per the report, Salman’s character will guide Varun’s Baby John back into the police force. The source added, “Kalees and writer Sumit Arora are pulling no punches to make sure that his cameo will be a treat for his fans.”
The star-studded cast of Baby John also includes Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, Jackie Shroff, and Rajpal Yadav in significant roles.

Kaleeswaran and produced by Murad Khetani, Priya Atlee, and Jyoti Deshpande, with music composed by S Thaman.
Fans can expect a teaser for Baby John around Diwali, according to Pinkvilla. A source close to the development stated, “The idea is to grab the eyeballs of the cinema-going audience by attaching the promo to both Diwali releases—Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
