English actor-comedian Stephen Fry is on a trip to India, but the reason is not disclosed yet.

'Off to India now. Mumbai or Bombay, whichever you prefer. Hoping it will coincide with some cricket. But my purpose there is secret - Shh!' he updated.

'Landed in Mumbai/Bombay. If we call it Mumbai then the film product ought really to be called Mollywood, no?' the 57-year-old actor added.

'It's very confusing to be nine and a half hours ahead of GMT. Does my poor little brain in. I shall have a nap now,' he added later.

Fry, who appeared in films like V for Vendetta, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and
Alice in Wonderland, has received much acclaim for his social work campaigning for people suffering from mental health problems, bipolar disorder and HIV.
