Actor Vinay evolved as an impressive character artist in Endrendrum Punnagai` that released towards the end of last years. That does not mean he is not being sought after for hero roles. The tall and handsome Unnale Unnale` actor is currently acting in two films: Aranmanai` directed by Sundar.C. and Aayirathil Iruvar` directed by Saran.

Speaking about Aranmanai`, Vinay says Sundar.C narrated the script to him in just five minutes and impressed him to accept the role of a middle class husband in the film. Sundar.C himself plays the role of Andrea`s brother in the film that has a huge star cast that includes Hansika, Raai Lakshmi, Santhanam, Kovai Sarala and Manobala. Vinay says he likes his role in Aranamanai` and happy to work with the team.

In Aayirathil Iruvar` Vinay , acts in dual roles for the first time in his career. “They won`t be brothers or father son characters”, the actor assures and says Saran with whom he is paired up for the second time after Modhi Vilayadu` has shown him in a different shade.

In an acting career spanning almost eight years Vinay has had a number of hits as well as flops, but yet to make it big in the industry.“ I never take both criticism and appreciation to heart. I have relied on hard work than luck. All the movies I have done till date mean something to me. But I have learnt a lot with every film,” he says with a smile.

Vinay also reveals that he does not want to be typecast as a romantic hero and is inclined to do action oriented roles in scripts that strike a chord between the story and the stunts.
