Sanchari Vijay

Vijay Kumar B alias Sanchari Vijay is a Kannada Theater and film artist. The tag ‘Sanchari’ comes from a drama troupe of the same name, of which Vijay is a vital part. The milestone in his acting career is regarded as the 2015 movie ‘Naanu Avanalla...Avalu,' where he takes, head-on, the bold portrayal of a transgender person. For his brave stint, Vijay procured the National award for Best Actor. He is the third Kannada actor to win the award, his precursors being eminent actors like M.V Vasudeva Rao and Charuhasan.

To add to the pride, ‘Harivu,’ in which he is the protagonist, won the ‘Best Feature Film’ award in the language, Kannada. In ‘Harivu,’ Sanchari portrays an intense relationship between a father and son. ‘Naanu Avanalla….. Avalu is based on an original story and comes to life with Vijay’s exceptional acting skills. He renders the emotion and body language of a transgender person in a way that is simply out of this world. As he confesses, the role had educated him about the life of a transgender person- their position on the social ladder. Having done plays that echoed the same radical theme, he learned to adapt to the mannerisms.
