Producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala's
five-year-old
son
Subhaan
might
have
acted
in
bit
roles
in
Main
Hoon
Na
(junior
Zayed
Khan)
and
Mujhse
Shaadi
Karogi,
but
this
is
the
first
time
he
gets
to
beat
up
an
actor
in
his
father's
film,
Heyy
Babyy!
"Subhaan
has
acted
in
a
scene
involving
100
children
and
plays
the
leader
of
the
gang
who
beat
up
Eddy
Teddy
(Riteish
Deshmukh).
There
should
be
some
advantages
to
being
a
producer's
son,
no?" laughs
Sajid.
Actor
in
waiting
Talking
about
why
he
used
his
son
in
the
film,
Sajid
says,
"Whenever
there
is
a
portion
in
any
of
my
films
involving
a
child,
I
would
like
to
have
Subhaan
in
it.
A
lot
of
people
feel
he's
too
young,
but
I
think
it's
a
good
experience
for
him
and
he'll
have
many
happy
memories.
My
wife
Wardha
too
gets
happy
when
Subhaan
acts
in
a
film."
Subhaan's
favorite
star
is
-
but
naturally
-
Salman
Khan,
whom
he
fondly
calls
chachu.
Does
Sajid
want
Subhaan
to
be
an
actor
when
he
grows
up?
"That's
his
choice,
but
I'd
like
him
to
complete
his
education
first.
Currently,
he's
in
KG
at
Juhu's
Ecole
Mondiale," says
Sajid.
Grand
scene
Heyy
Babyy
director
Sajid
Khan
adds,
"This
particular
scene
has
never
been
seen
in
a
Hindi
film
before.
Action
director
Mahendra
Verma
trained
100
kids
between
the
ages
of
three
and
10
years
for
four
days.
We
put
up
a
set
in
Mumbai
and
trained
them
in
gymnastics
and
action
scenes
using
wires
to
enact
fight
sequences
like
you
see
in
the
Matrix
movies.
I
wanted
to
do
something
grand
for
the
kids
and
it's
quite
a
funny
scene.
I
was
scared
for
Subhaan
as
he's
very
young,
but
he
did
it
very
well."
Khan
adds
that
the
character
Eddy
Teddy
will
catch
on
big
time
with
the
kids.
"He's
even
got
a
theme
song
which
goes,
'Shame,
shame,
puppy
shame,
Eddy
Teddy
is
my
name!'
and
I
have
sung
that
song.
I
had
to
change
my
voice
to
make
it
sound
grumpy," he
says
laughing.
Riteish,
who
had
to
wear
a
20-kg
furry
outfit,
says,
"It's
cool
to
get
beaten
up
by
kids.
What
was
difficult
was
the
costume.
I
had
to
wear
another
costume
below
that
outfit
and
use
lots
of
padding
to
show
a
paunch
and
a
big
bum!
In
front
of
the
camera
it
looks
real
funny,
but
inside
I
would
be
sweating
like
a
pig!"
