Trivia
- The film's director, Kiran Tirumalasetti, is a former assistant to acclaimed director Sukumar, known for his complex storytelling.
- The lead actor, Sai Sushanth, reportedly spent time with recovering alcoholics to prepare for his role as a man battling addiction.
- A significant portion of the movie was shot in the less-filmed coastal town of Kakinada, giving it a distinct visual atmosphere.
- The soundtrack features a rare, melancholic folk song from the East Godavari region, rearranged for a key emotional scene.
- The film's modest budget meant many crew members, including the cinematographer, took on multiple roles during production.
- It was originally planned as a much darker ending, but test screenings led to a slightly altered, more ambiguous finale.
- The title 'Drinker Sai' caused some initial confusion, as it directly uses the English word 'Drinker' rather than a Telugu equivalent.
