Who is Duniya Vijay?
Duniya Vijay started off his career by doing supporting roles. Years after doing insignificant characters, the 47-year-old star got the opportunity to play the lead role in Soori's Duniya. The success of the film prompted the title to become a prefix to his name.
Chanda, and Avva reinstated his position while Slum Bala and Junglee made him a bankable star. Thereafter, he worked in a series of action movies and tasted success.
In recent years, Duniya Vijay's movies have failed to live up to the expectations and personal-life controversies did not help the cause.
In the meantime, Duniya Vijay decided to direct his own film in the form of Salaga, which also has Dhananjaya in a key role. The movie has been creating a lot of buzz but got delayed due to the Covid-19 crisis.
