very
surprised
when
I
first
heard
the
script
but
slowly
I
got
to
know
about
the
importance
of
the
title
Baby.
It
is
a
thriller
with
lots
of
action.
The
story
has
been
inspired
from
real
life
incidents.
I
play
a
under-cover
intelligence
cop," Akshay
told
reporters
during
the
trailer

about
the

and

that
the

will
appreciate
their
effort.

have
liked
Neeraj's
film,
so
there
is
a
lot
of
curiosity
about
Baby.
People
are
waiting
for
the
