NSW Premier Chris Minns has announced that Bollywood comedy Heyy Babyy 2 will be filmed in Sydney, nearly 20 years after the original movie brought the city’s iconic sights to audiences across India and around the world.
Mr Minns made the announcement during a visit and tour of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment’s studio, where he met with studio head and producer Sajid Nadiadwala.
The upcoming sequel will see Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan and Riteish Deshmukh return to NSW to reprise their roles from the original Heyy Babyy.
The first film, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, was a hit comedy that featured Sydney prominently, giving audiences in India and internationally a view of some of the city’s best-known sights through Bollywood cinema.
Almost two decades later, Sydney is set to feature again as the setting for the next chapter of the franchise.
The return of the production will reunite Nadiadwala with the three lead actors from the original film as they return to Sydney for Heyy Babyy 2.
Nadiadwala has produced a number of Bollywood films, including Heyy Babyy, Housefull, Kick and 2 States.
The announcement marks a new Bollywood production for NSW and a return to a location that already has a place in the Heyy Babyy franchise.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
