Heyy Babyy 2 Is Confirmed, but Its Original Cast Is Still a Mystery
Sajid Nadiadwala has announced the sequel as part of a three-film Australia deal. Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Riteish Deshmukh, Fardeen Khan and director Sajid Khan have not been confirmed to return.

Sajid Nadiadwala has confirmed Heyy Babyy 2, nearly 19 years after the 2007 comedy brought Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Riteish Deshmukh and Fardeen Khan together. The announcement came on September 3, 2026, during a meeting with New South Wales Premier Chris Minns at Nadiadwala’s Mumbai office. The sequel will be shot in Australia as part of a three-film agreement involving Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and Sydney-based TEMPLE. For anyone who remembers the original’s particular mix of broad comedy, baby-powered chaos and four very different stars, the real news is also the giant blank space around the film: nobody from the returning cast has been announced.
Sajid Nadiadwala’s Australia deal brings the franchise back
According to Cinema Express, Heyy Babyy 2 is one of three upcoming productions covered by the Australia deal. The original film was also shot there, making the location a deliberate link between the two films rather than a random production choice.
Nadiadwala recalled the earlier shoot in a statement, describing Australia as film-friendly and praising the support given to his crew. Premier Minns called the deal a vote of confidence in New South Wales’ screen industry. He said the productions would employ local crews and creatives while introducing the state to audiences in India, as reported by NewsBytes and Hindustan Times.
That is the firm shape of the announcement: a producer, a country, three films and one confirmed sequel title. There is no release date yet.

The original cast is not attached — including Akshay Kumar
The biggest unanswered question is whether the four leads will reunite. Heyy Babyy starred Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Riteish Deshmukh and Fardeen Khan, with Sajid Khan directing. Hindustan Times, Outlook India and Mathrubhumi English all report that Nadiadwala has not confirmed the return of the original cast or director.
