Daagudu Moothalu was later remade into Tamil as Avan Pithana with S. S Rajendran and in Hindi with Dharmendra titled Jwar Bhata, which however couldn't replicate the success of the original.
Interestingly VK's first spell of stardom came his way as a villain. Even in 1974, when he had huge success as a leading man, he scored big as a villain in Patthar Aur Payal where Dharmendra played the hero.
Mehmood though packed the film with special appearances. From Sanjeev Kumar, Vinod Khanna, Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Amitabh Bachchan, Yogita Bali, Dara Singh, Lalita Pawar and Mukri
The song, "Jaaneman jaanme tere do nayan…" which has Yesudas at his breezy best, is filmed inside a hall on Dharmendra and Hema Malini on the big screen.
Hema Malini and Dharmendra make a cameo appearance in the film as Nautanki dancers.
After all this is the story of a classical dancer who loses her boyfriend – Dharmendra, her then real life beau in a special appearance
'Daaru Bandh Kal Se' [which has surprise cameos by Dharmendra and Bobby Deol] is hummable and gels well in the context of things.
Actor Dharmendra plays the role of a mentor and a godfather to Jora. In his days, a hit, Dharmendra has been given a look that is similar to Robert de Niro in 'The Godfather II.' Meeting him becomes the turning point for Jora in the film.
