Wikipedia article'Maa Gopi' is a 1954 Telugu language film directed by B. S. Ranga. The film stars Chittor V. Nagaiah, G. Varalakshmi, Vallam Narasimha Rao, Jamuna. The film was dubbed into Tamil as 'Jaya Gopi' and released in 1955. The film was a remake of 1953 Hindi film 'Bhagyawan' and its Marathi version 'Soubhagya'. Ranga also planned to dub it into Kannada and engaged his friend and popular writer Chi. Sadasivaiah to pen the dialogue. But for some reason he gave up the idea. In 1981, Sadasivaiah's lyricist-son Chi. Udayashankar suggested to Kannada matinee idol Rajkumar to remake Maa Gopi. Ranga himself directed the Kannada version, titled 'Bhagyavantha' introducing Rajkumar's youngest son Master Lohit Puneeth Rajkumar in the title role. This too was a big hit.
