Actor-director Vijay Kumar, known as Duniya Vijay, is releasing his third directorial venture, "City Lights," on September 18. This film represents a significant directorial test as Vijay steps away from the leading role, a departure from his previous works "Salaga" and "Bheema." The movie stars Vinay Raj Kumar and Vijay's daughter, Monisha Vijay Kumar, in her debut.
"City Lights" delves into raw, gritty themes, including criminal syndicates, prostitution, and trafficking, with a notable emphasis on women's struggles. The film's backdrop reflects Vijay's signature style of grounded storytelling, focusing on characters from the fringes of society.
While "Salaga" and "Bheema" benefited from Vijay's star power as the lead, "City Lights" aims to prove his directorial brand can attract audiences independently. The film's success hinges on Vijay's ability to balance his grounded narrative approach with commercial entertainment, establishing his directorial career beyond his acting persona.
