It was simultaneously shot in Telugu as Aakali Rajyam (transl. Kingdom of hunger) which was released in 1981. The film stars Kamal Haasan and Sridevi, with Pratap Pothen, R. Dilip and S. Ve. Shekher in supporting roles. It revolves around a group of three men in Delhi struggling with poverty and unemployment.

The film was released on 6 November 1980. It was a commercial success, winning two Filmfare Awards South and three Tamil Nadu State Film Awards. It was remade in Hindi as Zara Si Zindagi (1983) with Haasan reprising his role, and Balachander again directing.
