Varun stated: “As you can 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.” He then added, “It’s an adaptation. We’re not running away from that, but it’s more of an adaptation.” So, this indicates that Baby John is indeed adapted from Theri, but it’s not a complete remake of the original.
