The main languages spoken in Bihar is Bhojpuri, Maithili and Magahi (Magadhi). Bhojpuri is spoken mainly in Western Bihar, spilling over to Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Western Jharkhand. In addition, Bhojpuri is also spoken in some parts of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and the Tarai region of Nepal. Maithili is spoken mainly in North Bihar, North-Eastern Jharkhand and the Eastern Tarai region of Nepal. Magahi is spoken mainly in Southern Bihar and some part of North Jharkhand. The question arises as to why the film producers prefer making films predominantly in Bhojpuri. According to 2011 Census, among the three main languages, Bhojpuri is spoken by the largest number of people (5.06 crore) followed by Maithili (1.34 crore) and Magahi (1.27 crore).

This should explain as to why among the three languages, the highest number of films have been made in Bhojpuri language.
