Heyy Babyy 2 Confirmed as Sequel Returns to Australia

Heyy Babyy 2 has been officially announced as part of producer Sajid Nadiadwala’s three-film collaboration to shoot upcoming productions in Australia. The announcement came on Thursday, September 3, 2026, during New South Wales Premier Chris Minns’ visit to Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment’s Mumbai office. The sequel will return to Australia, a country that already played an important role in the production of the original 2007 comedy.

The announcement is significant because the sequel is not simply being discussed as a standalone future project. It has been identified as one of three upcoming Nadiadwala productions that will be filmed in Australia through a collaboration involving Sydney-based TEMPLE. The wider agreement strengthens the production house’s existing relationship with the Australian film industry and gives the sequel a direct connection to the location associated with its first instalment.

However, several important details remain open. There is currently no official confirmation that Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Riteish Deshmukh or Fardeen Khan will reprise their roles, while the return of original director Sajid Khan has also not been confirmed. No release date, shooting schedule or detailed plot for the sequel has been announced, so fans will need to wait for further production updates.

Heyy Babyy 2: Why Is Australia Important to the Sequel?

Australia is more than just the filming destination for the new project. The original Heyy Babyy was filmed partly in Australia, with Sydney among its filming locations. The decision to take the sequel back to the country therefore creates a direct production link between the two films and continues Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment’s relationship with the region.

During the September 3 meeting, Nadiadwala highlighted Australia’s filmmaking environment and described the country as a welcoming and professional destination for Indian productions. The announcement also forms part of a broader three-film deal rather than being limited to a single sequel, suggesting that Australia will have a continuing role in the production house’s upcoming projects.

The wider collaboration was announced during Chris Minns’ India visit, which ran from August 31 to September 3. Australian filmmaker Anupam Sharma also praised Nadiadwala and his crews for their previous work in New South Wales, adding further context to the renewed production relationship.

Will Akshay Kumar and the Original Cast Return?

At present, the return of the original cast has not been officially confirmed. The 2007 film featured Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan, Riteish Deshmukh and Vidya Balan in prominent roles, alongside Boman Irani and Juanna Sanghvi. Reports about the sequel have confirmed the project itself, but they have not announced which actors will appear in the new story.

The same uncertainty applies to director Sajid Khan. He directed the original Heyy Babyy, which was produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, but there has been no official announcement confirming that he will return behind the camera for the sequel. Until the production team releases casting and creative details, claims about a reunion of the original stars should be treated as unconfirmed.

What Was the Original Heyy Babyy About?

Released in 2007, Heyy Babyy followed three bachelors whose lives changed dramatically after a baby was left at their doorstep. Akshay Kumar played Arush Mehra, while Fardeen Khan and Riteish Deshmukh played Ali Haider and Tanmay Joglekar. Vidya Balan appeared as Isha Sahni, with Boman Irani also part of the principal cast.

The comedy was directed by Sajid Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. According to Box Office India, the film had a reported budget of ₹36 crore and earned about ₹83.94 crore worldwide. Its Australia connection is also documented through filming locations including Bondi Beach in Sydney, making the country's return particularly relevant to the sequel.

The original film was released in August 2007 and became a recognizable comedy title from that period of Bollywood cinema. Its story was also influenced by earlier films, including the Malayalam movie Thoovalsparsham and the American comedy Three Men and a Baby, itself based on the French film Three Men and a Cradle.

What Has Been Confirmed About the New Sequel?

The clearest confirmed detail is that Heyy Babyy 2 is part of Sajid Nadiadwala’s three-film Australia production deal. The sequel is therefore moving forward as part of a broader international filming collaboration, but the project is still short on publicly announced production details. There is no confirmed release date or official announcement about the complete cast and director.

For now, the Australia commitment is the major new development. Fans of the 2007 film can expect more information as casting, production schedules and other creative details are formally announced. Until then, speculation about returning actors should not be treated as confirmed news.
