It is rewarding to have special children breaking out of their cocoons and see them being part of a new world,’ he says.
“Talent is abundant in all forms of art in our country, and all it takes is to tap the potential in the right way. We have 250 kinds of courses offered,” says Shankar.Īdding more to his ‘search’ for talent, Shankar is happy that his Academy has also been one of the earliest to form a ‘Joyful Choir,’ a platform offered to special students, a few months back, to be part of a choir. I am grateful to my classmate, friend and co-founder Sridhar Ranganathan, as “our online classes go on 24/7 in 72 countries across the globe making a difference to connoisseurs who want music learning at their convenience. “As much as I love every aspect of music I deal with, my obsession for providing a learning platform to seekers and see talent grow is seen as the support system nurtured here with teachers and administrators. “This Academy is an extension of my persona,” he says. Surrounded by an impenetrable ring of selfie-obsessed fans and students, Shankar, at once modest with no star-like airs, is seen reaching out to most.
Shankar Mahadevan was visiting Bengaluru as part of his online school Shankar Mahadevan Academy’s student-teacher interactive, ‘Sangam,’ and for the Gurukripa Awards where the Academy recognises well-known music teachers for their back-stage effort in moulding musicians. “I may either think of putting together Part A & B of the Breathless Reprise that actually ends on a high melancholic note for bringing out an updated serpentine version, or create a new ‘Breathless’ with Javed saab and the whole team coming together again!” he says. Even after two decades, my fans are still expecting a sequel or follow-up,” says playback star and composer Shankar Mahadevan who was in the city last weekend. It was arguably seen as another branch to Hindi-rap. Did you know that it is 20 years since the release of the super hit song ‘Breathless’ that flows in Shankar Mahadevan’s voice with lyrics penned by the reputed Javed Akhtar? The album had streamed along verses non-stop for three minutes that went wildly viral, earning an iconic status.
