Heyy Babyy 2 confirmed by Sajid Nadiadwala in three-film Australia deal

Heyy Babyy 2 has been confirmed by producer Sajid Nadiadwala, bringing back the title of the 2007 ensemble comedy after a gap of nearly two decades. The sequel was announced as part of a three-film shooting agreement in Australia, with the announcement made alongside New South Wales Premier Chris Minns, according to Bollywood Hungama and Hindustan Times.

The confirmation has drawn attention for two reasons: the return of a familiar comedy property associated with Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, and the international production arrangement under which three films are set to shoot in Australia. The original Heyy Babyy was also partly filmed there, giving the new deal an additional connection to the franchise’s history.

Heyy Babyy 2 confirmed as part of Australia film deal

The central confirmed development is that Sajid Nadiadwala has announced Heyy Babyy 2. According to Bollywood Hungama and Hindustan Times, the sequel forms part of a three-film Australia shooting deal announced with New South Wales Premier Chris Minns. Reports do not provide production dates, a release date or a full cast for the sequel, so those details remain unconfirmed.

The Australia element is more than a separate business announcement because the 2007 original was itself partly shot in the country. That gives the sequel news a clear continuity point even though reports do not specify how much of the new film will be made there or which Australian locations will be used.

The deal covers three films rather than only Heyy Babyy 2, but reports do not identify the other two titles. It therefore confirms a broader production commitment while leaving the composition and scheduling of the full slate open. Any additional titles, production windows or location details would require further official announcements.

Why the sequel is drawing attention nearly 20 years later

The original Heyy Babyy released in 2007 and featured Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan and Riteish Deshmukh. Its sequel is now being discussed against the backdrop of a nearly 20-year gap, which is a major reason the confirmation is trending. The revival places another recognisable ensemble-comedy title back into active development after a long absence.

However, the confirmation of the sequel should not be read as confirmation that the original lead trio will return. Reports identify Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan and Riteish Deshmukh in connection with the 2007 film, but it does not state the cast of Heyy Babyy 2. No casting beyond that historical reference should therefore be assumed.

The same caution applies to the creative team. Sajid Nadiadwala is the person who confirmed the sequel, but reports do not name a director, writers or other crew for the new film. It also gives no plot details. At this stage, the firm news is the sequel itself and its inclusion in the three-film Australia shooting arrangement.

What has been confirmed and what remains open

• Confirmed: Sajid Nadiadwala has announced Heyy Babyy 2.
• Confirmed: the sequel is part of a three-film shooting deal in Australia.
• Confirmed: the announcement was made with New South Wales Premier Chris Minns.
• Confirmed: the 2007 original was partly shot in Australia.
• Not confirmed in reports: the sequel’s cast, director, plot, production start date and theatrical release date.

That distinction matters because sequel announcements often generate speculation around returning actors and storylines. In this case, the supplied information supports only the existence of the project and its place in the Australia deal. Any claims about who will star or when audiences will see the film would go beyond the confirmed facts currently available.

The Australia connection adds an international production angle

The involvement of New South Wales Premier Chris Minns gives the announcement an official international-production dimension. According to the reports cited in trade reports, the three-film deal is specifically tied to shooting in Australia. For Heyy Babyy 2, that arrangement also recalls the first film’s partial Australian shoot.

The announcement therefore combines a nostalgia-led sequel with a production partnership spanning multiple films. While reports do not detail budgets, incentives, locations or schedules, the structure of the deal shows that the sequel is being positioned within a wider three-project commitment rather than as a standalone overseas shoot.

That wider context is part of why the story has moved beyond routine sequel news. A familiar Hindi comedy title is returning after close to two decades, but its confirmation arrives together with an international shooting plan and a public announcement involving the political leadership of New South Wales.

What the confirmation does not yet tell audiences

For viewers, the biggest unanswered question is likely to be casting. The names Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan and Riteish Deshmukh are inseparable from available reporting’s description of the 2007 film, but there is no statement here that they are attached to the sequel. Until casting is officially announced, any suggestion of a reunion would be unconfirmed.

There is also no release calendar in the supplied information. The phrase “confirmed” refers to the sequel announcement, not to a completed production schedule. The three-film Australia deal establishes an intended shooting framework, but it does not by itself specify when Heyy Babyy 2 will go before cameras or reach cinemas.

What happens next

The next meaningful updates will be the formal details that turn the announcement into a defined production: cast, director, shooting schedule and release plans. None of those are contained in current reporting, so they should be treated as pending rather than inferred from the 2007 film or from the three-film deal.

Attention will also remain on the other two projects covered by the Australia arrangement, which are not named in the supplied information. For now, Heyy Babyy 2 is the confirmed headline from the deal, while the long gap since the original and its own Australian connection explain why the sequel has immediately become a talking point.
