Introduction
B. R. Vijay Kumar—better known to groups of onlookers as “Duniya” Vijay—was born on 20 January 1974 in Anekal, Karnataka. From working as a Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Enterprise conductor to becoming one of Sandalwood’s most bankable activity stars, his travel typifies coarseness and raw screen presence.

Vijay moved to Bengaluru in the late 1990s, taking foundation parts in movies and TV serials while preparing for stunts. His life changed with the 2007 film Duniya, whose reasonable depiction of a stranded hooligan earned both well-known applause and the Karnataka State & Filmfare Awards for Best On-screen character, along with the persevering prefix “Duniya” sometime recently his name.

After Duniya, Vijay conveyed a string of serious, mass-appeal hits such as Chanda (2007), Junglee (2009), Johny Mera Naam Preethi Mera Kaam (2011), and the mysterious thriller Jayammana Maga (2013). His affinity for dare-devil stunts proceeded in Marathi Gudi (2017). In 2021 he turned chief with the gritty underworld saga Salaga, demonstrating his command behind the camera.

Net Worth in 2025
Estimating celebrity wealth shifts with cash changes, unlisted resources, and underwriting bargains. Freely accessible figures put Vijay’s 2025 net worth between ₹151 crore (≈ US $18 million) and US $25 million.
