Two decades after redefining Bollywood slapstick comedy and box-office benchmarks, one of Hindi cinema's most beloved multi-starrers is officially getting a follow-up. Directed by Sajid Khan, the 2007 blockbuster Heyy Babyy—which famously featured an ensemble cast led by Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Fardeen Khan, and Vidya Balan—captured the nation's imagination with the chaotic, heartwarming tale of three bachelors forced to raise an abandoned infant. Now, nearly twenty years later, producer Sajid Nadiadwala has officially confirmed that the long-awaited sequel is in motion.
Sajid Nadiadwala Announces Strategic Australia Partnership and Sequel Shoot
The official confirmation arrived during a high-profile corporate meeting in Mumbai on September 3, where producer Sajid Nadiadwala welcomed New South Wales Premier Chris Minns to his office. The meeting culminated in a landmark production agreement between Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and Sydney-based Temple Australia, designating New South Wales as the official shooting destination for three upcoming major banner projects. Praising Australia's picturesque landscapes and film-friendly infrastructure, Nadiadwala confirmed that Heyy Babyy 2 will return to its original international roots by filming extensively across Australian scenic locations.
A Look Back at the Cult Classic and Speculation Over the Original Cast
Released in 2007, Heyy Babyy was celebrated for its vibrant music, infectious chemistry among the male leads, and emotional narrative. While the original film drew inspiration from classic premises like the Malayalam hit Thoovalasparsham (1990) and Hollywood’s Three Men and a Baby (1987), it carved out a distinct identity in Indian pop culture. As production ramps up for the sequel, fans are eagerly speculating whether Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Fardeen Khan will reprise their iconic roles. While Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment has yet to release official casting details, the confirmation of Heyy Babyy 2 has already sent waves of excitement across social media, promising a hilarious cinematic reunion.
