The board has suggested modifications to the film, including a disclaimer clarifying that Baby John has no connection to any political figure or entity. Another modification includes a voiceover and text stating that the child artists in the film have performed adhering to existing guidelines.The CBFC has also asked for a specific dialogue change, including muting the term “Phule” in a reference to Mahatma Jyotiba Phule. The board also demanded replacing the mention of Lal Bahadur Shastri with another term, which is yet to be disclosed.
The CBFC recommended four visual changes for the film, including one where someone was kicking a ‘kalash’ (sacred pot). Visuals of characters being set on fire were shortened by 50%, a shot of cigarette burns on a character’s face was toned down, and a close-up of a gunshot was re-edited. The board also asked the makers to submit an AWBI (Animal Welfare Board of India) certificate.

Baby John trailer
Directed by Kalees, the trailer provides a preview of the world of Baby John, which is a perfect combination of action, entertainment, humour, and foot-tapping tracks. In the film, Varun Dhawan plays a dad on cop duty. The trailer opens with a look into Baby John’s world where he shares a happy life with his daughter. The 3-minute, 6-second-long clip gets intense as the dark reality unveils, exposing us to the world of traps, rapes, and murders. The clip ends with a glimpse of Bhaijaan Salman Khan, who wishes everyone ‘Merry Christmas’ at the end. The trailer gives an adrenaline rush, and apart from Salman’s cameo and Varun’s obvious heroic presence, what stood out was Jackie Shroff in a negative role, sending chills down our spines.
