Cast

Production

Mithila Makhaan is produced by actress-entrepreneur Neetu Chandra's production house, Champaran Talkies and produced by her brother Nitin Neera Chandra.[2] The initial idea of the movie came to the producer when he was working with an NGO during the Kosi floods back in 2008. He concluded that there are no employment opportunities in Bihar and that is why the people of the state travel to other states and countries for works. The story that came to his mind during that time was about a man who works in Canada and returns to his village in Mithila, and restarts his grandfather’s business of makhaana.[3]
