The movie is a remake of 1967 Tamil movie 'Anubavi Raja Anubavi' which was also earlier remade in Hindi in 1973 as 'Do Phool'. 'Kittu Puttu' went on to also inspire the 1993 Hindi movie 'Aankhen'.
The dual role played by Nagesh was reprised by Mehmood in the Hindi version and by Dwarakish in the Kannada version. Earlier, the triple role played by Nagesh in 'Panakkara Kudumbam' was reprised by Mehmood in the Hindi version ('Humjoli') and by Dwarakish in the Kannada version ('Bhale Huduga').
