Heyy Babyy 2 is officially happening nearly two decades after the original comedy entertained Bollywood audiences. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala has confirmed the sequel, which will return to Australia for filming.
The original Heyy Babyy arrived in 2007 and featured Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Riteish Deshmukh and Fardeen Khan. Now, the popular comedy franchise is preparing for its next chapter.
Heyy Babyy 2 Is Officially in the Works
Sajid Nadiadwala confirmed Heyy Babyy 2 during a meeting with New South Wales Premier Chris Minns at his Mumbai office.
The announcement forms part of a new three-film production deal involving Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and Australia. The upcoming projects will be filmed in the country.
The sequel will also return to Australia, which played an important role in the production of the original movie.
Why Heyy Babyy 2 Is Returning to Australia
Australia has become an important production destination for Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
Nadiadwala praised the country for its locations, professional film environment and support for productions. He also highlighted the positive experience his teams had while filming there previously.
The new three-film agreement therefore gives Heyy Babyy 2 a familiar production setting while expanding the studio’s relationship with Australia’s film industry.
Will Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan Return?
Fans will likely be eager to see whether the original stars return.
However, the makers have not yet confirmed the cast of Heyy Babyy 2. That means Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Riteish Deshmukh and Fardeen Khan’s involvement remains unknown for now.
As a result, fans will have to wait for an official casting announcement before expecting the original stars to reprise their roles.
Heyy Babyy 2 Story Details Remain Secret
The makers have also kept the sequel’s storyline under wraps.
The original Heyy Babyy followed three bachelors whose carefree lives changed after a baby was left at their doorstep. The men then tried to determine which of them was the child’s father.
The 2007 film blended comedy and drama while bringing together Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Fardeen Khan in the central roles. Vidya Balan also featured prominently in the movie.
What Was the Original Heyy Babyy About?
Directed by Sajid Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Heyy Babyy became a familiar Bollywood comedy of the late 2000s.
Its central premise drew from earlier films. The story was loosely based on the 1990 Malayalam film Thoovalsparsham. That movie itself was adapted from the 1987 American film Three Men and a Baby, which originated from the French film Three Men and a Cradle.
Fans Await More Details
With Heyy Babyy 2 now officially confirmed, attention will shift to the cast, director, storyline and release date.
For now, the biggest confirmed detail is that the franchise is returning to Australia. The sequel’s connection to the original cast, however, remains one of the major unanswered questions.
Nearly 20 years after the first film, the next chapter could give fans a fresh take on the comedy franchise while bringing back the familiar spirit of Heyy Babyy.
