THIS South Remake Made On Budget Of Rs 180 Crore, Featured A Superstar Cameo, Actor Charged Hefty Fees, Tanked At Box Office

With varying degrees of success, Bollywood has recently relied on South remakes to turn around its box office performance. This South remake was made on a huge budget of Rs 180 crore with top shot star cast and a special cameo appearance. Despite serving every ingredient to be a blockbuster, the movie tanked at the box office.

The movie, which had a festive release on Christmas Day, December 25, was unable to attract large audiences majorly because of fierce competition with Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule.

About Baby John
