Vijay aka Duniya Vijay (Template:Lang-kan) is a Kannada film actor who started of as a junior film artist in the industry essaying small insignificant roles, before he got the big break in Duniya.
Early Life & Family
Vijay was born to Rudrappa and Narayanamma in a poor family in Anekal. He was not too good at studies, but was a good athlete. To support himself, he has also worked as a stuntman and a gym instructor. Vijay is married and has three children. His nephew Yogesh is also a popular Kannada hero.
Career
Vijay met Soori and Yograj Bhat who fostered his ambition to become an actor. Vijay wanted to be a hero, but was advised to start with smaller roles so he could hone his acting skills. Vijay started off with a role in Yograj Bhat's Ranga SSLC with Sudeep. He then acted in films like Jogi, Shree, Ee Rajeev Gandhi Alla among others. He also did roles in television.
The turning point in Vijay's career came with mentor Soori's directorial debut Duniya. Vijay was cast as the idiot with the golden heart who gets mercilessly used by the underworld. His acting won rave reviews from critics, he was even appreciated personally by his idol Rajnikant. Vijay went on to win the State and Filmfare awards for his role in the film. In 2007, Vijay appeared in three more films - Yuga, Chanda and Geleya. Yuga was an action oriented film on the lines of Duniya, but it was not a box office success. Vijay did a supporting role in Geleya, when Prakash Rai walked out of the film at the last moment.
In 2007, Vijay made more news with his film Chanda. The film was directed by S Narayan, who had supposedly agreed with Vijay that he would release the film six weeks after Yuga, so that there would be no clash. The director supposedly did not keep this promise, for which reason Vijay refused to dub for the film. The matter was settled with the KFCC, who decided to impose a year long ban on the actor. After much intervention the ban was repealed and Vijay was free to do other movies. Chanda did average business at the box office.
Vijay did a semi-art film Avva for Kavita Lankesh at the start of 2008. Vijay won accolades for a bravura performance, but the film did not do well. He was then seen in Sumana Kittur's Slum Bala towards the end of 2008, which also did mediocre business. The consensus was that both films lacked action, which was Vijay's forte. In 2009, Vijay will be seen in action oriented films, MR Ramesh's Thaakath and his team up with Soori, Junglee.
