'''''Duniya Vijay''''' is an Indian actor who appears in [[Cinema of Karnataka|Kannada films]]. He started off as a junior film artist in the industry playing small insignificant roles, before he got the big break in ''[[Duniya (2007 film)|Duniya]]'' (2007).<ref>{{cite web|title= Newcomers rule box office|url= http://www.indiaglitz.com/newcomers-rule-box-office-kannada-news-32612 |publisher=Indiaglitz.com}}</ref> He is noted for his performances in various films such as ''[[Chanda (film)|Chanda]]'' (2007), ''[[Junglee (2009 film)|Junglee]]'' (2009), ''[[Johny Mera Naam Preethi Mera Kaam]]'' (2011) and ''[[Jayammana Maga]]'' (2013). ==Career== 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 when his friend [[Duniya Soori|Soori]]'s directorial debut [[Duniya (2007 film)|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 (film)|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]] <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ytalkies.com/sandalwood-film-news/nostalgia-trip-mungaru-male-completes-nine-years|title=Duniya Vijay in Geleya}}</ref> 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 After the intervention of "Karnataka Film Federation" elders, the ban was revoked and Vijay was eligible to do other movies.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 (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 average business. The consensus was that both films lacked action, which was Vijay's forte. In 2009, Vijay was seen in action oriented films,namely, MR Ramesh's ''Thaakath'' and ''[[Junglee (2009 film)|Junglee]]'' directed by [[Duniya Soori|Soori]] and also in Sadhu Kokila's directorial ''Devru''. The year 2010 continued to be a mixed luck for Vijay with three releases, out of which, one film ''[[Kanteerava]]'' managed to fetch average business and reviews. The other two, ''Shankar IPS'' and ''Kari Chirathe'', went on to become failures at the box-office. However, he made a comeback with successful films which were also critically acclaimed ''[[Jarasandha]]'', ''[[Johny Mera Naam Preethi Mera Kaam]]'' and ''[[Veera Bahu (film)|Veerabahu]]'' in the year 2011.{{citation needed|date=January 2016}} In 2012, Vijay starred in the critically acclaimed ''[[Bheema Theeradalli]]'' which also found the commercial success. Vijay was lauded for his performance in the movie. In early 2013, the film ''[[Rajanikantha]]'' was released and it was a disaster in Box-Office. His subsequent release, which was under his production "Duniya Talkies" ''[[Jayammana Maga]]'', a psychological thriller and his first production venture, met with rave critical reviews with his performance getting noticed. While his movie Shivajinagar was average at box office. In 2014, his only movie was Simhadri. In 2015 he went with four movies Jackson, Rx Suri, Ring road were hit, however Cobra is delayed. In 2016, his first release was [[Yogaraj Bhat]]'s much hyped film ''[[Dana Kayonu]]'' alongside [[Priyamani]]. The film went on to become a success commercially and resurrected his career. His upcoming release is Nagashekar's ''[[Masti Gudi]]''. ==[[Masti Gudi]] accident and KFCC ban== On 6 November 2016, while filming the climax fight scene for the upcoming ''[[Masti Gudi]]'' film, two stuntmen playing villainous roles: Anil and Uday along with Vijay jumped into the [[Thippagondanahalli]] reservoir from a helicopter. While the two stuntmen drowned, Vijay was rescued by the film crew.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chitraloka.com/news/13967-duniya-vijay-safe-fatal-accident-during-mastigudi-shooting.html|title=Duniya Vijay Safe - Fatal Accident During Mastigudi Shooting|publisher=Chitraloka|date=7 November 2016}}</ref> Following this incident, the Karnataka Film Commerce Chamber (KFCC) imposed a ban on Vijay, director Nagashekar and stunt choreographer [[Ravi Varma (Stunt Director)|Ravi Varma]] until further notice.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chitraloka.com/news/13982-duniya-vijay-respect-kfcc-decision.html|title=Duniya Vijay Respect KFCC Decision|publisher=Chitraloka|date=9 November 2016}}</ref> ==Filmography== {| class="wikitable" |+Key | style="background:#FFFFCC;"| {{dagger|alt=Films that have not yet been released}} | Denotes films that have not yet been released |} {|class="wikitable sortable" !
