I am making wallets using some libraries.
I want to know total balance of addresses, 
and  some libraries(bitcore-lib) needs to utxos values for making transactions.

You do not need the uxto of the other address to be able to send it BTC. You just need the address.

If you want to list unspents of an address you don't have the keys for, I don't think bitcoind can help you. However, you can use explorers like blockchain.info: <https://blockchain.info/unspent?active=35QEobWVUKjMY2HwKATYYQXRGzXJvdXQCy&format=html> (there's also JSON if you want it).
