Perspective
Born in Dindigul as the daughter of a local DMK Treasurer Kannama Naidu Vijayan,[5] Dushara initially pursued an engineering degree, before discontinuing and taking fashion studies. She made her acting debut in Bodhai Yeri Budhi Maari (2019), a film made by newcomers, before working on Anbulla Ghilli (2022), a film based on a dog.[6][7]
Dushara's breakthrough came through the sports drama Sarpatta Parambarai (2021), where she portrayed a feisty woman from 1970s Madras. She was selected for the film after director Pa. Ranjith had seen a photograph of her on Twitter and called her for a twenty-minute audition. Despite initially being unconvinced, Ranjith later chose to select her for the role. To prepare for the film, she learnt North Chennai dialect and picked up specific patterns of behaviour.[8] The film opened to positive reviews, with Dushara's performance winning acclaim.[9]
Dushara was later seen in Pa. Ranjith's romantic drama Natchathiram Nagargiradhu (2022) and Vasanthabalan's thriller Aneethi (2023) opposite Arjun Das.[10][11] In 2024, she appeared in Dhanush's action drama Raayan, and received critical acclaim for her performance.[12] Dushara Vijayan plays a teacher named Saranya with Rajinikanth in Vettaiyan (2024).[13] She plays the wife character with Vikram in Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2 (2025).[14]
