The movie is based on the 1967 Tamil film Anubavi Raja Anubavi directed by K. Balachandar which was remade as Do Phool in Hindi in 1973. Kittu Puttu went on to inspire the 1993 Hindi movie Aankhen.[3]

The dual role played by Nagesh in Tamil was reprised by Mehmood in Hindi and by Dwarakish in Kannada. Earlier, the triple role played by Nagesh in Panakkara Kudumbam was reprised by Mehmood in Hindi version (Humjoli) and by Dwarakish in Kannada version (Bhale Huduga).

The music of the film was composed by Rajan-Nagendra and lyrics written by Chi. Udaya Shankar. The song "Nille Gowramma" and "Kaalvannu Thadeyoru" were received extremely well. The latter song was reused retaining the same lyrics and tune in the film Apthamitra (2004) by music director Gurukiran.
