Coldplay likes taking us by surprise as much as their music likes taking Indian fans by storm. This time though, the surprise is rather colourful; it's not all yellow. Get it?

Anyway, Chris Martin is back in India, and no, he's not making any surprise visits at any bars this time around. The front man and his bandmates have been spotted in Mumbai on Wednesday, and if rumours are to be believed, they're shooting a music video in Worli, which involves the Coldplay members playing Holi with the kids of Worli Gaon.

According to Mid-Day, "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."

While the music video could be for their new album, A Head Full of Dreams, or, as informed by a source, the band could be shooting the video as part of their Global Poverty Project, which was the reason for Chris Martin's visit to Delhi in July this year.

Till date, the alternative rock band, which was formed in 1996, has never performed in India and this is also the first time that the entire team is in the country.
