It also stars Vikram Makandar, Nadira, Rita Bhaduri, Om Prakash, Utpal Dutt and Sridevi, in her first significant Hindi role. The film was a critical and commercial success. It is a remake of the Malayalam film Chattakari (1974), which also stars Lakshmi as the lead in her Malayalam film debut. She would star in yet another remake of the film, the Telugu film Miss Julie Prema Katha (1975).
Lakshmi did not act in the Kannada remake, Julie, released in 2006, which had Ramya in the title role as and Dino Morea as the leading man. She also declined the role of Julie's mother in the Malayalam remake titled Chattakari (2012), stating that she wanted the audience to remember her as the young and beautiful Julie; the title role went to Shamna Kasim. Actress Urvashi portrayed the role of Julie in its Tamil remake Oh Maane Maane (1984). The remake rights of this film are now owned by Glamour Eyes Films.
