Co-screen play writer P. Vasu remade the movie in Tamil in 1996 as Love Birds.[5]

The interval twist of the movie - where the hero supposedly dies in an accident - and the second half of the movie - where the heroine is sent out of her hometown to her uncle's place in order to overcome her depression but is shell shocked to find a lookalike in a vehicle nearby and later catches a glimpse of him again in a discotheque dancing merrily - went on to be re-used in the 2000 Hindi movie Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai.[6][7][8]
