Given the ongoing trend, Baby John, which is facing a strong competition from Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule, will be seeing another hike in numbers today (day 5/ first Sunday). The movie is likely to mint Rs 5-6 crores today and will be inching close to Rs 30 crores mark during the opening weekend. In fact, Baby John's opening weekend collection is likely to be around Rs 9-10 crores.

Meanwhile, Varun, in an interview with India Today, spoke about taking inspiration from Theri and stated. "When Atlee came with this film, there was a reason behind it, and he said that we had to change a lot of the geography of the film. We have to use it as an adaptation and not really a proper remake, and I think that's what's done. Like you see, a lot of the frames and a lot of the story angles are different. So, if someone comes in expecting a book-by-book remake, they will be disappointed because that's not what the film is. It's an adaptation. We're not running away from that, but it's more of an adaptation".
