Remade as

Thirugu Baana (Kannada) — not in this catalogue yet
Remade in Kannada with Ambarish and Aarati in the parts Amitabh Bachchan and Moushumi Chatterjee play here. Not held.

The same people, elsewhere

Same director and actor: Adalat (1976)
Narendra Bedi directed both.
Same script writer and editor: Agneepath (1990)
Kader Khan wrote both; Waman Bhonsle cut them - 16 years apart.
Amitabh Bachchan
A father obeying a voice on the telephone to get his son back - the tightest thing he made before Deewaar, and the voice is the film's own co-writer, Kader Khan.
Same music director and lyricist: Anamika (1973)
Rahul Dev Burman wrote the music of both; Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the lyrics of them; Gurudutt Shirali cut them.

Same director: Dil Diwana (1974)

Iftekhar
Iftekhar as the Police Commissioner - the part he played over and over, the officer or the doctor or the official and never the subject. It is a career only a catalogue can show you.

Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the lyrics of both; Waman Bhonsle cut them.
Same director: Insaan (1982)
Narendra Bedi's regular unit: he directed both, Kaka Thakur photographed both, and Waman Bhosle and Gurudutt Shirali cut both.
Kader Khan
Kader Khan co-wrote it, and he is the anonymous voice on the telephone that the hero spends the film obeying - the writer playing the thing the film is afraid of.
