Ahead of the release of their highly anticipated film Baby John, actor Varun Dhawan and director Atlee visited Lalbaughcha Raja to seek divine blessings.

Varun shared several photos from the visit on Instagram. In one image, he and Atlee are seen standing before the Lord Ganesha idol, with Varun in a respectful pose with folded hands. Another photo shows him happily posing with a modak. He captioned the post, “Ganpati Bappa Morya. Thank you for blessing us every year Bappa (sic).”

Originally slated for a May 31 release, Baby John is now scheduled to hit theaters on December 25, 2024, for Christmas. The film's release was delayed to accommodate extensive visual effects and action sequences.
