In the month of July, music composer Vishal Dadlani broke the internet when he tweeted about popular music band Coldplay’s impromptu jig in New Delhi.
The band was in the city for a charity event that included actress Freida Pinto too. The jig had comedy group All India Bakchod in attendance too. Coldplay, along with its lead singer and guitarist, multi-grammy winner Chris Martin, is in the city again, reportedly, for shooting a music video. The official Twitter handle of the band posted some pictures from their shoot in Mumbai. Reports say that Bollywood fashionista and actress Sonam Kapoor is also a part of the video.
According to a report published in Mid-day.com, “The band will be shooting in different parts of Mumbai for their latest video, which will have something special for their Indian fans. They landed in Mumbai on Tuesday night and will be here just for a couple of days. Their upcoming video will have something special for their Indian fans.”
The report also adds that all four members of the band — Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion — shot a Holi sequence in Worli Gaon on Wednesday and that their trip is being kept as discreet as possible because they want to steer clear of the paparazzi. The band, which was formed in 1996, hasn’t ever performed in India.
