Cradle 2 Grave?

This article in Sify mentions that Vijay was not keen to act with Nayantara since she has been paired with 50+ heroes(her first 2 movies have been with Sarathkumar and Rajnikanth). Looks like pairing up with older heroes is turning out to be the equivalent of a cinematic graveyard for young heroines. Meena too publicly lamented about this problem a while back. She said that acting with Rajni and Kamal had unfairly given her an 'old' actress tag, thereby making the younger heroes like Vijay and Ajith wary of casting her as their heroine though she was young enough to be paired with them. But Jyothika seems to be bucking the trend. She paired up with Kamal in Tenali but has since acted as heroine with not just Vijay but even Simbhu! Poor Nayantara... guess we have to wait and see if being cast as S.J.Suryah's heroine in 36-28-36 changes her fortunes.
