Duniya Vijay  Vijay Kumar B.R, known professionally as Duniya Vijay, is an Indian actor who appears in Kannada films. He started off as a junior film artist in the industry playing small roles, before he got his big break in "Duniya" (2007). He is noted for his performances in films such as "Chanda" (2007), "Junglee" (2009), "Johny Mera Naam Preethi Mera Kaam" (2011) and "Jayammana Maga" (2013). Vijay started off with a role in Yograj Bhat's "Ranga SSLC" with Sudeep. He then acted in films like "Jogi", "Shree" and "Ee Rajeev Gandhi Alla". He also did roles in television. The turning point in Vijay's career came when his friend Soori's directorial debut Duniya. Vijay was cast as a naive village boy with a golden heart who ends up in the hands of underworld goons who use him as one of the henchman to execute their bad deeds. His acting won him rave reviews from critics. 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 did not keep this promise, for which Vijay refused to dub (lend his voice) for the film. The matter was settled with the KFCC, who decided to impose a year-long ban on the actor. After the intervention of "Karnataka Film Federation" elders, the ban was revoked and Vijay was eligible to do other movies. "Chanda" did a roaring business at the box office and especially at B&C centres. He got the liking from the so-called 'masses' for his dare devil fights. Vijay did a semi-art film "Avva" for Kavita Lankesh at the start of 2008.
