Shankar Mahadevan’s song Breathless has been a fan favourite since its release decades ago. The song that goes on in a steady flow without pauses for verses or stanzas is also considered one of the best works of the music composer. Unlike other popular songs, there are very few renditions of this track, mainly because of how it’s sung. Probably that is the reason this rendition recently posted on Instagram has left people impressed. It shows a man flawlessly recreating the 1998 song.
