Twenty years ago it seemed tradition that actors start their careers as heroines and later continue their career with roles like mother, mother in law, grand mother etc and used to retire. For example Bhanumathi, Savitri, vani Sri, Annapurnamma, Janaki, jamuna etc followed the above format and retired. This is the reason why they are most remembered by the audience. The next generation heroines did the roles like sister in law but didn’t continue till mother and grand mother roles. And now coming to this generation heroines, they are doing ten or twelve movies and are settling in their lives by marrying business men. Present it has become very difficult to the bigger heroes to select heroines for their movies. The only option left for all the senior heroes was Nayanathara. How can she alone can do many movies?
But the young heroines are looking like daughters of the big heroes. Even if we import heroines for other languages it is of no use. With this the actors who ruled as heroines in the industry for many years like Amani, Indraja, Sangeeta etc are giving re-entry. They are being introduced to this generation audience with the help of reality shows. So finally, the re-entry of senior heroines has become a great help to the senior heroes.
