“I am so happy and excited to be have sung this brilliant song,” said Shreya Ghoshal in a statement. “I was fortunate enough to have sung the first-ever song of my career for a Madhuri Dixit starrer – Devdas – and of course have sung many other songs for her after that. ‘Boom Padi’ is even more special for me as it is Madhuri ji’s first-ever garba dance number. I am sure the audiences will love the song and it will be a festive season favourite all over.”
Directed by Anand Tiwari and written by Sumit Batheja, Maja Ma is described as ‘a family entertainer, set against the celebratory backdrop of a traditional festival and a quintessential, colourful Indian wedding’. It’s also the first Indian original produced by the streamer; Amazon Prime Video has previously only acquired Indian titles.

Maja Ma boasts of an ensemble cast including Gajraj Rao, Ritwik Bhowmik, Barkha Singh, Srishti Shrivastava, Rajit Kapur, Sheeba Chaddha, Simone Singh, Malhar Thakar, and Ninad Kamat. The film will be released on Amazon Prime Video on October 6.
