"My fans identify themselves with my skin tone and it has become a blessing in disguise. Hence, I choose such scripts which conforms with that identity like "Dana Kaayonu". But I want to reach out and impress all the stratas of society including the class audience. I am striving to reach that layer and it may take some time," says the actor. Now, Duniya Vijay is all geared up for his directorial movie 'Salaga'. "Most of the sequences in this movie are similar to what happened in my life but it is not my biopic, parhaps that is the reason I wanted to helm this project," adds Duniya Vijay.
