Panaji, Nov 30: Nassiri, Iranian-born international songwriter, will be shooting his video on world peace `love sees no colour' at Taj Mahal in Agra in the next week.
Nassiri, who has taken all the permissions from archeological survey of India to shoot his video, has shot the video in 16 countries including Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Berlin, Paris, Russia, China, Japan, Korea and this time, he is in India to shoot it in Hindi.
"The amount we spend on military budget, if we divert it to curb poverty, we can solve all the problems… there will be no poverty, no terrorist, no unemployment and with these, there will be no fights and world will live in peace," said Nassiri briefing presspersons in Goa along with Lowrence Jordan, overall director for video and Rajan Khosa, Indian director.
Nassiri, who migrated to USA at the age of twenty, has become one of nation's largest wholesalers of designer labels to mass merchandisers, feels that he finds solace in the music. "The music has always been my passion and I am glad that I am getting an opportunity to use music to spread world peace message," he said.
On his shooting in India, Nassiri's Indian director, Rajan Khosa, said that the whole shoot is devised in such a way keeping respect of the monument. "All necessary permissions are in place," he said.
Peturbed with the violence, Nassiri feels that we spend more money to protect ourselves from ourselves. "I am on a world peace movement and it has to come from people to people," he said.
Nassiri, a die hard fan of the late Raj Kapoor, loves Indian music and movies. "I have grown watching Raj Kapoor movies," he says trying to sing few lines from evergreen song,"Awara hoon…"
