The 33-year-old singer then spoke about how he wanted to perform in different parts of the country, unlike his previous concert which all took place in Mumbai.

"The first time I came to tour India was in 2015, we played in Mumbai. The next time we came, we played in Mumbai, and the next time we came, we played in Mumbai.

We will go to all cities of India," he said.
