Chennai, Jan 14 (IANS) The makers of director Arun Varma's eagerly awaited thriller 'Baby Girl', featuring actor Nivin Pauly in the lead, on Wednesday announced that the film would hit screens worldwide on January 23 this year.

Taking to his Instagram page, actor Nivin Pauly wrote, "Baby Girl Hits Cinemas Worldwide From Jan 23, 2026. @babygirlmovieofficial."

It may be recalled that the makers of the film have already disclosed that Nivin Pauly plays a character called Sanal Mathew in the film.

The motion poster released showed Nivin Pauly holding a baby in his arms. The film will also feature actors Lijomol Jose, Abhimanyu Thilakan and Sangeeth Prathap in pivotal roles.

It may be recalled that the makers of the film had released a motion poster that had caught the audiences without giving anything away about the plot of the film. The motion poster released then opened with a voice over. One hears a police officer reporting some developments back to the police headquarters over his walkie talkie. We are then shown the four main characters of the film emerging one by one. We get to know from the motion poster that Abhimanyu Thilakan plays a cop in the film. Lijomol Jose, best known for her performance in 'Jai Bhim', and actor Sangeeth Prathap, who plays a crucial supporting character in 'Premalu', are then introduced to audiences. Finally, Navin Pauly's face comes up. Interestingly, the first look poster of the film shows these four characters looking in one direction while several other faceless people seem to be looking the other way around.

Produced by well known producer Listin Stephen, 'Baby Girl' has triggered huge interest as its story has been penned by popular writers Bobby and Sanjay, who are known for their heart-touching stories in films such as 'Traffic' and 'Ayalum Njanum Thammil'.
