Adithi Sagar is an Indian singer who works in the Kannada film industry. Her songs "Dum Maro Dum" from Raambo 2 (2018), "The Bengaluru Song" from French Biriyani (2020), and "The Monster Song" from K.G.F: Chapter 2 (2022) garnered popularity upon release.[1][2]

Career

Adithi Sagar made her singing debut at the age of 14 with Dum Maro Dum in Raambo 2 (2018) . She received the opportunity after a producer of the film, Tarun Sudhir, heard her rendition of Aacharavillada Naalige on her YouTube channel and recognized her talent. She was studying in the ninth standard when she landed the role.[3] She went on to sing the song "Samshaya" in the film Kavaludaari (2019). In a review of the film, a critic noted that "young Aditi Sagar's Samshaya echoes long after the closing credits roll".[4][5] She rapped in "The Bengaluru Song" from French Biriyani (2020). Vasuki Vaibhav, the composer for the film, had trouble finding a female rapper before he zeroed in on Sagar.[2]

Her debut as an actress was through Shiva Rajkumar's 125th Vedha, directed by A. Harsha. She plays the role of Kanaka, daughter of Vedha in the action drama film.

Personal life

She is the younger daughter of actor, art director Arun Sagar.[3]
