When MGR and Sivaji Ganesan were on a retiring age. On came actors like jai shanker and siva kumar, for a span of few years they were on top, everybody seems to think they will take over from MGR and Sivaji. This did not happen few years later Kamalhaasan and Rajinikant who were younger heros took over that 2 icons position.

Now in the 21st century. Kamal and Rajini are in that same retiring position. Actors like Vijay,Ajit,and even Vikram are just like Jai Shanker and Sivakumar in those days. Age are a factor. These actors could have crossed 30 years. The younger actors like Danush and Simbu are really the ones who will take over the 2 icons position.

so it reads like this. MGR,SIVAJI,RAJINI,KAMAL,DANUSH??,SIMBU?? or other young heros??

  Its not soo much as history repeating itself but rather its moving on, evolving. How long do you expect the audience to keep watching the same people. But what makes me angry is that the old folk don't want to seem to leave the scene, instead of stepping aside gracefully, they keep going like energizer bunnies. Some should be doing father and older brother roles but you still find them acting as the lovers, who are they trying to kid????

  He he... Vijay and Ajit would occupy the slots after Rajini - Kamal! They have been really good and have proved that they are the pair after MGR - Sivaji and Rajni - Kamal!

  It's a lot more competitive now then before. It would be difficult to predict as for whether history would repeat itself.
  
  For all we know, it might be different this time. It might become undecided throughout as for who is No.1 or 2.
