The film is based on the novel Ardhaangi written by B. Puttaswamayya.[1] The screenplay was by P. Pullaiah based on his 1955 Telugu movie with similar story titled Ardhangi, which itself was based on Maddipatla Suri's Telugu translation of the Bengali novel Swayamsidda, written by Manilal Banerjee. Swayamsiddha went on to be made into a 1975 Bengali movie of the same name.[2] Ardhangi was remade in Tamil as Pennin Perumai [3] and in Hindi twice as Bahurani in 1963 and as Jyoti in 1981. The Kannada novel Mallammana Pavaada also inspired the 1987 Tamil movie Enga Chinna Rasa, which went on to be remade in Telugu as Abbaigaru, in Hindi as Beta, in Kannada as Annayya and in Odia as Santana (1998).
