Kajal Aggarwal and Samantha Ruth Prabhu are both in their early 30s. They are not as actively choosing movies of late (in the case of Kajal, she is doing Tamil and Hindi in equal measure), and Samantha could only be doing really experimental subjects post her marriage to satisfy her creative urges.

It is in this scenario that at least three heroines are growing in stature. They are: Keerthy Suresh, Anu Emmanuel and Pooja Hegde. If you leave aside the first, who is more into Kollywood, you are left with the latter two.

Anu's current stint with Trivikram and Pawan Kalyan's film makes her a potential huge name of the coming years. If this is not enough, the buzz is that she will be cast opposite another superstar, NTR, by Trivikram (again)!

Pooja has already done an Allu Arjun movie. Unlike Anu, she has already proved it opposite a big star, especially in "mass" numbers like 'Seeti Maar'. Vamsi Paidipally is allegedly impressed with her talent and, if everything goes well, may cast her opposite superstar Mahesh Babu.

Kajal and Samantha's replacements may already have been found.
