Hero Venkatesh might have turned fifty, but he is not backing away from signing up young heroines that are not even half his age. Nithya Menon rejected to play his romantic interest when he offered her a role in one of his films. She even told the same with the media.

Venkatesh has signed up young ladies Anjali and Taapsee in his next ventures SVSC and Shadow respectively. Both the actresses are very young and certainly won't make a good pair with fifty plus Venky. But Venkatesh is hell bent on signing up 'fresh heroines' beside him.

Venkatesh is aware of his old looks and has been working out rigorously to keep his body in shape. He has slimmed down so much in the recent times. He is also looking a bit young in Shadow poster designs. Maybe there was lot of photo-shop work involved in it. That doesn't take any credit away from Venky as there is a notable change in his looks. Only thing is what will he do with those wrinkles to be a perfect match for Taapsee or Anjali.
