[edit] Original and Remakes
"The film was a remake of Tamil super hit film Aval Oru Thodarkathai (1974). Sujatha played the role of Jayaprada, Jai Ganesh did the role of Rajnikant, Kamal Haasan played the role of Narayanarao in that. Same tunes were used in both the languages. Sripriya, Phataphat Jayalaxmi and rest of the cast are same in both the versions.
Balachander remade the film in Hindi next year (1977) with Mumtaz doing the role of Jayaprada while Sanjeev Kumar and others doing the important roles. One important thing about this film is Jayasudha made her debut to Hindi with this film. Kamal Haasan also appears for a brief moment in the film. He appears as a choreographer for Dharmendra and Neetu Singh in the film. His name appears in credits as choreographer along with Gopikrishna. Naushad had provided the music for the Hindi version.
The film was again remade in Hindi as Jeevan Ddhaara by director Tatineni Ramarao. Rekha did the role of Jayaprada. Rakesh Roshan did the role of Kamal Haasan, Amol Palekar did the role of Narayana Rao. Kanwaljit did the conductor role, Simple Kapadia (sister of Dimple Kapadia) did Phataphat Jayalaxmi role. The film was a decent hit in Hindi also."[1]
