Ed Sheeran has reportedly agreed to appear in the sequel to Happy New Year.

The 'Thinking Out Loud' singer, who was in Mumbai for the India leg of his stadium tour, was invited by Abhishek Bachchan to join a post-wedding celebration for newlyeds Kunal Kapoor and Naina Bachchan.

According to The Mirror, Farah Khan - who directed the original movie - said: "It was a surprise when my cousin Zubin called me from London to say that Ed Sheeran was going to be in town and wanted to meet up with me and my Bollywood friends.

"It was very gracious of Abhishek to let me bring Ed and his team to his home. Not only did Ed hit it off with Abhishek, but before I left, they both also decided that Ed would act in Happy New Year 2."

If the shoot goes ahead as planned, Sheeran will make his acting debut in Bollywood. 

The 24-year-old had earlier performed a sell-out gig in Mumbai.
