The film was remade in Malayalam in 1965 as Kavyamela and the producer of Kantheredu Nodu, Velan, subsequently remade it in Tamil in 1968 as Devi, starring R. Muthuraman and Devika.
Velan had sold the copyrights of the Kannada film to Malayalam cinema producer T. E. Vasudevan for ₹1,000. Subsequently, he purchased it back for ₹5,000 to remake it in Tamil for a 1968 movie titled Devi, which bombed at the box office.[3][4]
