Dil Raju to produce Prabhas's next

Dil Raju and Prabhas have a thing in common. Their previous films were flops. If Dil Raju's Josh with Nag Chaitanya was declared a flop in non-A centres, Prabhas' Ek Niranjan's fate is too well known. The producer and the actor are teaming up for a film. And, it will be directed Dasarath who had a flop career as director in Sambaram, Sri and Swagatham many years ago too. So this one may not be a crazy combination, but it might turn out to be the biggest advantage for them, as expectations on them will be low.

Film industry sources say that two girls named Tapsi and Sarah Jain are debuting with this movie in which Prabhas will be shown in a never-seen-before characterisation. Details about the film are still under wraps and an official announcement is expected only after some days.

However, gossip mills hush hush that the film to be made under Sri Venkateswara Creations will be released in the summer of 2010. Naturally, Dil Raju, Prabhas Raju and Dasarath will want to bounce back in a big way with this film.

Only a few months back Dil Raju said in a TV interview that Dasarath has immense talent in him and it is still a wonder that he hasn't met up with much success. He clued in the interview that Prabhas will most probably act in the story. Well, we all know the wonderful judgement capabilities of this producer, who in the past turned hits after hits, only to be trumped for now by Josh.
