Sanchari Vijay (born c. 1983)[2] is an Indian theatre and film actor who primarily works in Kannada cinema, in addition to having worked in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi cinema.[3] He started out as a theatre artist from "Sanchari", a culture centre and unique theatre, which is also popular as an elegant drama troupe.

At the 62nd National Film Awards, he was awarded the Best Actor for his performance in the Kannada language film Naanu Avanalla...Avalu, in which he played the role of a transgender.[4][5][6] With the award win, Vijay became the third actor after M. V. Vasudeva Rao and Charuhasan to win the National Award for Best Actor for performing in a Kannada film.[7] At the same award ceremony, Harivu (2014), another film that saw him playing the lead role, won the award for Best Feature Film in Kannada.
