The announcement was made by filmmaker and producer Sajid Nadiadwala during a meeting with New South Wales Premier Chris Minns at the Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment office in Mumbai on September 3rd. The sequel will see extensive filming in Australia as part of a three-film production deal between Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and the Australia-based TEMPL. The decision to shoot in Australia is significant as the original film also extensively shot there in 2007. Nadiadwala praised Australia for its beautiful locations, film infrastructure, and support for filmmakers, expressing his teams' positive experience during their previous shoot. The meeting between Nadiadwala and Premier Minns was seen as a \"big vote of confidence\" for Australia's screen industry, with the potential benefits including opportunities for local crews, creative professionals, and businesses. While the cast for Heyy Babyy 2 has not been confirmed, it is not expected that the original cast from the 2007 film featuring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Fardeen Khan, and Vidya Balan will return. Fans will be eagerly awaiting further details on the cast, storyline, and release date for the highly anticipated sequel.",
