After the chart-topping success of his recent
film triumph, Namastey London – the highest
grossing Bollywood film at the UK Box Office
of 2007 – Indian cinema’s A-list superstar,
Akshay Kumar, makes a welcomed return to the
big screen in his latest offering, Heyy Babyy,
releasing in cinemas internationally on 24th
August 2007 through integrated media and entertainment
company and leading global distributor of
Bollywood cinema, Eros International.
Heyy Babyy combines all the ingredients of
another runaway success for Bollywood cinema’s
hottest property. As if 2007 hasn’t already
seen Akshay Kumar dominate the Indian film
industry on a global level, following the
colossal Box Office success of Namastey London
and his show-stealing stage performance alongside
UK-based Bhangra troupe, RDB, at the IIFA
Awards in Yorkshire, winning him the praise
of worldwide audiences and critics alike,
Akshay once again proves his infinite talents
as a Bollywood all-rounder.
Heyy Babyy offers audiences a wholly new
Bollywood experience and Akshay Kumar will
undoubtedly win over the hearts of critics
and cineastes once more, mastering the distinctive
role of sexy Sydney-based bachelor, nightclub
employee and womaniser, Aroush, whose life
is turned upside down by the arrival of a
diaper-clad baby on his doorstep.
Akshay Kumar’s film career reaches even higher
pinnacles, as he once again proves his incomparable
versatility as a lead actor of the new millennium,
displaying his skills in the arena of comedy
in one of 2007’s most enthralling Bollywood
capers.
Heyy Babyy draws inspiration from the 1987
classic, Three Men And A Baby, and brings
together the crème of Bollywood talent,
headed by Akshay Kumar, who joins forces with
charming lead lady Vidya Balan and sidekicks
Fardeen Khan and Riteish Deshmukh in one of
this summer’s most eagerly anticipated film
releases, shot on location in Australia, France
and India.
Combining the gifted directing talents of
Sajid Khan with the production expertise and
industry prowess of Sajid Nadiadwala, Heyy
Babyy is an endearing romantic comedy with
the winning formula to become Summer 2007’s
biggest cinema success story. Adding to that
the matchless talents of Akshay Kumar, Heyy
Babyy is sure to secure the flawless actor
with a healthy collection of film awards and
accolades in 2008.
In relation to what is predicted to be this
summer’s biggest Bollywood hit, Akshay comments,
‘I am extremely proud of Heyy Babyy. It is
quite unlike any other film that I have done,
and it was a great challenge to achieve the
perfect combination of sensitivity and humour.
I fell my colleagues from the industry and
I have done a great job on this film and I
have full faith that audiences will go and
see it several times over.”
Heyy Babyy releases in the UK and internationally
on 24th August.
