I believe that a film like Kariyatthi has the power to address critical societal challenges in a way that resonates emotionally, prompting viewers to reflect on and discuss these important topics."

This marks their fourth collaboration after Deswa, Mithila Makhaan, and Jackson Halt. While Jackson Halt was praised for its thrilling narrative, Mithila Makhaan received a national award for Best Maithili Language Film, solidifying their cinematic reputation.
