Career

Vinay was originally a ramp model in Bangalore. He debuted as an actor in director Jeeva's Unnale Unnale co-starring Sadha and Tanisha Mukherjee.[4] The film became a huge success upon release and brought in more acting offers for Vinay Rai.

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 Jayamkondaan, for which his performance was acclaimed.[5] In 2009, he appeared in Saran's Modhi Vilayadu alongside Kajal Aggarwal which also fared poorly at the box office,[6][7] while two of his films Veelle and Nootruku Nooru[6] were stalled during production. He made a comeback in 2011 with a role in the English film, Dam 999, which had a poor commercial and critical response.[8] His only 2012 release was the Tamil film Mirattal. The film, which starred Sharmila Mandre opposite him, got an average response.[9]

Vinay then appeared in Aayirathil iruvar again with Saran,[10] Thupparivaalan, Aranmanai and Serndhu Polama.[11]
