Dharma and Aishwarya Sharma are playing the lead roles in the film Drinker Sai, which has the tagline “Brand of Bad Boys.” The film is produced by Basavaraju Srinivas, Ismail Shaik, and Basavaraju Laharidhar under the banners of Everest Cinemas and Smart Screen Entertainments. Directed by Kiran Tirumalasetti, the film is based on real events and is set for a grand theatrical release on the 27th of this month. The pre-release press meet of Drinker Sai was held today in Hyderabad.
DOP Prashanth Ankireddy spoke at the event, saying, “As technicians, we are always behind the scenes, but the Drinker Sai events have also highlighted us. We’ve seen this film multiple times, and you can watch it with your family. We are confident about its success.”
Choreographer Moin praised the choreography in the film, saying, “The choreography in Drinker Sai was excellent. Director Kiran garu supported us a lot during the song sequences. Aishwarya immediately grasped the steps, and Dharma worked hard. This movie will definitely be a success.”
Music director Sree Vasanth shared his experience, saying, “To talk about my experience with this movie, I first have to mention director Kiran. He made this film with great passion and hard work. For Kiran, the movie was his life. He even sent his wife to the village so that his family wouldn’t disturb him. He worked with such dedication. When Kiran was worried that the guests weren’t coming to the events, we continued believing in the film. Our movie will make its mark through word of mouth starting from the matinee on the 27th. After that, I told him that the guests will come along with the success. I’ve never said this before the release, but I am confident this film will be a hit.”
Producer Ismail Shaik spoke about the film’s progress, saying, “Drinker Sai has shaped up really well. Music director Sree Vasanth has composed great songs, and Chandrabose garu’s lyrics are wonderful. The audience response to Dharma and Aishwarya’s pairing has been positive. I particularly like the character of Drinker Sai, who brings a lot of energy to the screen. Aishwarya’s character is also very strong. The film offers a mix of emotions, and I hope it becomes a success when it releases in theaters on the 27th.”
Heroine Aishwarya Sharma said, “Director Kiran believed in me more than I believed in myself for the character of Baaghi in Drinker Sai. I will never forget the support he gave me. I also thank the producers for giving me the opportunity to act in this film. Dharma is the hero of my first movie, and I am happy to work with him. Everyone in our team has supported me. Drinker Sai is coming to you on the 27th of this month, and I hope you will experience the emotion and fun in the movie.”
Director Kiran Tirumalasetti said, “The reason I am directing Drinker Sai and speaking on this stage today is the blessings given by my parents. As a result of the hard work I’ve put into the industry for many years, I am bringing you a good movie. We all survive in the industry because of small films. Only if they are good will we all succeed. I have great respect for review writers. If you don’t like our movie Drinker Sai, give it a zero rating. If it moves you even a little, give it a 3. I hope you will support our movie. Dharma will definitely win the Best Debut Actor Award. His performance is exceptional. My request to the audience is this: if you like the movie, tell ten people; if you don’t, tell a hundred. This is not a movie made for commercial elements. We believed in a story and made it with sincerity. The movie is entertaining from the beginning to the interval. We have introduced a character called Vanthena, who keeps entertaining throughout. And in the climax, you will experience 40 minutes of intense depth.”
Hero Dharma said, “Our producers made Drinker Sai with great passion. Even though they knew the success rate of such films was low, they produced it without compromise, believing in the story. The entire team worked not for money but out of love for the film. I came into the industry to become a hero, and I will live and die as a hero. I will keep striving to become one because this is my dream. I know that you will come to theaters only if the trailer and teaser of small films are good. No matter how much we request, they won’t come unless they like the trailer. If you like the trailer and teaser of Drinker Sai, then definitely come to the theaters on the 27th. If you like the film, tell ten people. I am a big fan of Prabhas garu. We all know how busy he is, but when I met him, he wished us all the best and sincerely wished for the success of Drinker Sai. It was a very happy moment for me to receive his best wishes.”
