Career

Vinay's debut as an actor was in director Jeeva's Unnale Unnale co-starring Sadha and Tanisha Mukherjee.[1] The film became a large success upon release and opened up more acting offers for Vinay Rai. after Arya opted out, as Karthik was due to some similarities with the character. Vinay made his debut into the film industry after modelling and featuring in a couple of Tulu advertisements.[2] However, they finalised the choice of the actor only after the script was ready.
Since his debut film, he has appeared in a Telugu language film, Vaana, which flopped at the box-office and a critically successful Tamil film, in Jayamkondaan, for which his performance was acclaimed.[3] In 2009, he appeared in Saran'sModhi Vilayadu alongside Kajal Aggarwal which also fared poorly at the box office, while two of his films Veelle and Nootruku Nooru were stalled during their production stage. He made a comeback in 2011 with a role in the English film, Dam 999, though the film met with a poor commercial and critical response. Vinay will next be seen in Mirattal, a Tamil film featuring Sharmila Mandre opposite him.
