Raj Kundra has in the past directed the video for Rahat Fateh Ali Khan`s single Teri Yaad. Says Kundra, `It is widely believed that no one can love you in the same degree as your mother and there is this general perception that Indian men are Mama`s Boys. Our song Teri Maa is a tongue-in-cheek take off from it where the girl is telling the boy that she loves him more than anyone else.`
The rumbustious Punjabi number, presented by T-Series is sung by sisters Dolly Sidhu and Roop Sidhu, the music is composed by B Praak and the lyrics are by Jaani. TikTok sensation Manav Chhabra features along with Shamita Shetty in the video, choreographed by Ranju Varghese.

The vibrant, colourful video was shot in a record-breaking time of 18 hours in Mumbai`s Madh Island. The audience who has known Shamita for her dance numbers like Sharara sharara and Chori pe chori is bound to be surprised by Shamita`s act. `She is a natural and a terrific dancer and a one-take actor,` says director Kundra in praise of his sister-in-law.
An excited Shamita says, `It was a once-in-a life time opportunity to work with my brother in law. Since it was home turf, I was very comfortable. I heard the song and loved it and said yes to it immediately. The concept is very cute. In India we grow up with a belief that nobody can love you as much as your mother. So this song in a way plays around with that belief. It was too much fun to work on it although I just got a day to rehearse for it.`
Singer Roop says, `We have been performing and doing live shows for a few years now. We wanted to kind of re-launch ourselves. When Jaani made us hear this song, we at once knew that this is a song that we want to be associated with and is perfect for us.` Dolly adds, `We are quite excited to be part of this song and are looking forward to the audience`s reaction.`
