Vinay Rai (born 24 February 1978) is an Indian film actor, commonly appearing in Tamil films, as well as modelling and catwalking in noted fashion shows. His mother tongue is Tulu.

Career

Vinay was originally a ramp model in Bangalore, but since has now made his debut as an actor in director Jeeva's Unnale Unnale co-starring Sadha and Tanisha Mukherjee.[2] The film became a large success upon release and opened up 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, in Jayamkondaan, for which his performance was acclaimed.[3] In 2009, he appeared in Saran's Modhi Vilayadu alongside Kajal Aggarwal which also fared poorly at the box office,[4][5] while two of his films Veelle and Nootruku Nooru [4] 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.[6] His only 2012 release was the Tamil film Mirattal. The film, which also starred Sharmila Mandre opposite him, got an average response.[7]

In 2014, Vinay will be seen in three Tamil films Senthatti Kaalai Sevatha Kaalai with Saran again,[8] Iruvar Ullam and Serndhu Polama.[9]
