Elaborating on his travel plans, the singer said, "I will be visiting India for the first time in Mumbai for a special project and on my brief trip I'm looking forward to trying out some local cuisines, meeting like-minded people from the music and entertainment industry and tour around to see some iconic landmarks in and around Mumbai.
