Legacy

The film became successful at box office and provided a major breakthrough in the career of Rajasekhar. Rajasekhar's portrayal of honest and short-tempered police officer received critical acclaim and he went on to be typecast in similar roles throughout his career. The film was dubbed and released in Tamil as Idhuthaanda Police, which also became a huge hit. Both director and actor again teamed up for Nayakudu, which failed to repeat the success of Ankusam. Ramireddy also became famous as a villain and did similar characters in other films. Director Srinu Vaitla said, "Two films – RGV's Shiva and Kodi's Ankusam – deeply influenced me and directly or indirectly prompted me to become a director".
