Nitin Chandra, who won a National Award for his film felt elated and shared that a National Award is something every filmmaker aspires. He said it was surreal to get a National Award because his DVD reached on the last day at the DFF Office in Delhi. The director was not sure if his Maithili film had reached or no.

Earlier Director of Mithila Makhaan had shared that making the film was a difficult task. The idea of the film first occurred to him when he visited the flood-affected areas in Bihar during 2008-2009. He made a documentary to understand the problem. He realised how people from North Bihar created jobs in their own village. This became the germ of the story which then took 5-6 years of development. Nitin Chandra’s sister Neetu Chandra played a huge part in the making of Mithila Makhaan as she went location hunting, chose a cast and also found investors for the film.
