In 2018, Mahadevan recreated the song to highlight the programmes and initiatives of the Narendra Modi-led government. This was the beginning of a long association, as Shankar, along with Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa (as Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy), went on to score music for all of the films directed by Farhan and Zoya Akhtar.īoth Shankar and Javed Akhtar later reunited to come out with "Breathless Reprise," a similar song whose story takes off from where "Breathless" ended. The music video of the title song "Breathless" was directed by Farhan Akhtar and his sister Zoya Akhtar. The song Breathless holds a special place in my heart, and I am sure all devotees.


The music album was a huge success, selling over 300,000 copies and topped all major music charts in India for about 10 straight weeks. Shankar Mahadevan, who is elated to recreate the magic of breathless once again, he said, I am thankful to Shemaroo Bhakti and Music Director Dr Sanjayraj Gaurinandan (SRG) for presenting this opportunity to me on the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti.
