After updating Android Studio to version 2021.1.1 (Android Studio Bumblebee), I'm getting the following error on trying to sync gradle files

```
ModelCache.safeGet(androidProjectResult.androidProject::getNdkVersion, "") must not be null

```

This is the further stack trace

```
om.intellij.openapi.externalSystem.model.ExternalSystemException: ModelCache.safeGet(androidProjectResult.androidProject::getNdkVersion, "") must not be null

Any idea on how to get around this/ fix this?
