Vinay's grandfather, Rajkumar first brought him on-screen at the age of four in the film Aakasmika (1993).[3] Vinay followed this with appearances in Odahuttidavaru (1994), his father's film's Anuragada Alegalu (1993) and Navibbaru Namagibbaru (1993), and uncle Shiva's Om (1995) and Hrudaya Hrudaya (1999).[4][5]
