The Posani Krishna Murali & Sameer Hasan partnership
Between 2021 and 2024, they barely worked apart — 4 films in 3 years. From 30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela? (2021) to Drinker Sai (2024). Their most recent film, Drinker Sai, came out in 2024 — the partnership is still active.
It started with 30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela? (2021).
The shape of the work
Posani Krishna Murali acted in every film; Sameer Hasan acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Posani Krishna Murali handpicked Sameer Hasan for 'Shekar' (2022) after seeing him in a small theater play. Sameer was a relative unknown in Telugu cinema at the time.
- On the sets of 'Bhari Taraganam' (2023), Posani would rewrite his own dialogues on the spot to match Sameer's deadpan delivery. Sameer never changed a word — he just waited for Posani to adjust.
- During 'Drinker Sai' (2024), the two shared a single room in a budget lodge for 40 days. Posani cooked eggs every morning; Sameer made the coffee. Neither had done that for any other co-star.
- Sameer Hasan said in a 2024 interview: 'Posani doesn't direct me. He just says, “Do what you feel.” That scared me the first time. Now I trust it completely.'
- Their third film 'Drinker Sai' (2024) directly inspired a small-budget indie called 'Empty Glass' that released on OTT six months later. The director credited their 'raw, unpolished vibe' for the idea.
