Rajpal Yadav Opens Up About Baby John Box Office Failure and Varun Dhawan’s Reaction
Rajpal Yadav Talks About Baby John Box Office Failure
Baby John turned out to be a box office disappointment, much to the dismay of its star Varun Dhawan. Despite its high budget, the film failed to recover its costs. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Rajpal Yadav, co-star of the film, discussed the reasons behind the film’s failure and Varun’s reaction to it.
The Issue with the Baby John Remake
Rajpal Yadav believes that Baby John was a well-made film, but its status as a remake hurt its box office performance. He explained, “If this wasn’t a remake, then this would have been the most well-made film of my 25-year career. But since Vijay had done it, the audience had already seen it, and it affected the box office.”
Low Box Office Earnings Despite Big Budget
Baby John, directed by Kalees and produced by Atlee, had a budget exceeding ₹180 crore but earned less than ₹50 crore at the domestic box office. This stark contrast contributed to the film’s disappointing commercial performance.
Varun Dhawan’s Reaction to the Failure
Rajpal Yadav also opened up about Varun Dhawan’s reaction to the failure of Baby John. Contrary to what some may expect, Rajpal emphasized that Varun was not “depressed” by the outcome. “Varun is such a sweet boy, very hardworking. He has always tried to do something different, and his attempts must be appreciated,” he said, praising Varun for taking risks in his career.
Rajpal Yadav’s Role in Baby John
Rajpal Yadav played the role of Constable Ram Sevak, a deputy to Varun’s character, DCP Satya Verma. While the film did not perform well with critics, Rajpal earned some praise, particularly for his action sequence, marking his debut in action.

Ryan Reynolds Allegedly Takes a Dig at Justin Baldoni in Deadpool & Wolverine
The Marvel fandom is buzzing with speculation about Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool & Wolverine. Fans believe the movie contains references to actor-director Justin Baldoni. These alleged digs add fuel to the ongoing tension between Baldoni and Blake Lively.
Nicepool’s Connection to Justin Baldoni
One scene in the movie caught the attention of fans. Reynolds plays Nicepool, a variant of Deadpool with exaggerated politeness. Nicepool introduces Ladypool (voiced by Lively) and says, “Oh my goodness, wait til you’ve seen Ladypool. She is gorgeous. She just had a baby too and [you] can’t even tell.” Deadpool responds, “I don’t think you’re supposed to say that.” Nicepool then replies, “That’s OK. I identify as a feminist.”
Fans have linked this character to Baldoni, who is known for advocating “undefining masculinity.” A deleted scene adds to the theory. Nicepool says, “I’d be fighting alongside you, but my calling is to one day start a podcast that monetizes the women’s movement.”
Behind-the-Scenes Tensions
Reports suggest tensions between Baldoni and Lively during It Ends With Us. Allegations against Baldoni include harsh criticism of Lively’s post-pregnancy body. He reportedly demanded she lose weight within weeks after childbirth. Baldoni has denied all allegations.
Adding to the drama, Baldoni filed a lawsuit against Reynolds. The lawsuit claims Reynolds berated him during a production meeting, calling the encounter “traumatic.”
Fan Interpretations
Fans dissected Nicepool’s portrayal and found parallels with Baldoni. TikTok user @americastia noted, “It’s not even subtle.” Fans also highlighted Deadpool & Wolverine’s release weeks before It Ends With Us, adding context to the perceived shade.
A Complicated Fallout
The fallout between Reynolds, Lively, and Baldoni highlights personal and professional tensions. Fans remain divided over whether the references were intentional or coincidental. The drama surrounding these stars shows no signs of fading soon.
