Rumors are coming that Prabhas asked a top producer to scout for a family entertainer. Prabhas is soon to get associated with Dil Raju's production house. However, it is not clear whether that project will be a family entertainer or not.

Any director will not say no to Prabhas' demands. However, analysts and even his fans are of the opinion that doing a family entertainer at this stage is extremely risky. Prabhas enjoys pan India following and his market is quite high and the masses love his image. Doing a family entertainer will alienate him and it will be extremely risky and put all the stakeholders on the tenterhooks.
