<br />
The same story was later used in the [[Telugu language|Telugu]] movie ''[[Palanati Brahmanaidu (film)|Palanati Brahmanaidu]]'' which released six weeks after the release of this film. However, that movie added few sequences which were not there in the original movie like the train moving in reverse gear.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://m.rediff.com/movies/2003/jun/06bonda.htm|title=Overconfidence is Palnati Brahmanaidu's downfall|access-date=23 October 2021|archive-date=23 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211023071447/https://m.rediff.com/movies/2003/jun/06bonda.htm|url-status=live}}</ref><br />
