Jonita Gandhi and Pawan Singh steal the show in the ‘Chicchubuddi’ song from Dacoit

Adivi Sesh has begun promoting his upcoming film Dacoit, which stars Mrunal Thakur as the female lead and features Anurag Kashyap in a key role. Directed by Shaniel Deo, the makers have now released the film’s second single, the Chicchubuddi song, which also marks the onscreen debut of singer Jonita Gandhi.

The track is sung by Ram Miriyala and Jonita Gandhi, with music composed by Bheems Ceciroleo. While the earlier promos and the first single ‘Rubaroo’ showcased a rugged and emotionally intense side of Adivi Sesh's character, Chicchubuddi brings out a completely different vibe. It presents him in a fun and energetic avatar and also marks the first time he has performed a dance number onscreen.

Listen to Chicchubuddi on Gaana.

Music composer Bheems Ceciroleo, who earlier delivered a rustic and soulful track, shifts tone here with a high-energy, folk-inspired party number packed with vibrant beats. The lyrics by Bhaskarabhatla Ravikumar bring in a playful and youthful touch that blends well with the colourful visuals. Bhojpuri actor-singer Pawan Singh’s special appearance further adds a mass appeal to the song. Watch the Chicchubuddi song here:


Talking about her brief appearance as Rani in the film, Jonita Gandhi shared, "Rani lives in the world of Dacoit… and I had the chance to step into her shoes for my very first big screen appearance. And now, zooming out for a second… This was a completely new experience for me. As someone who loves dancing, I felt drawn to this, and I really embraced it as playing a character… not an extension of who I am, but a side I get to explore as a performer."

Dacoit recently completed its final schedule. Reflecting on the journey, Adivi Sesh had shared, “Wrapping the final schedule of Dacoit feels both surreal and deeply emotional for me. This film has been an intense journey, physically, creatively, and mentally. From writing the first draft to now standing at the edge of completion, every phase has demanded complete honesty and commitment. We just wrapped up the last schedule, and there’s a quiet sense of fulfilment that comes with knowing we’ve given this story everything we had."

Directed by Shaneil Deo, the film is being shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi and is mounted as a pan-India project. Apart from the lead pair, the cast also includes Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj, Sunil, Atul Kulkarni, Zayn Marie Khan, and Kamakshi Bhaskarla in key roles.
