Prabhas had made a cameo in Ajay Devgn-starrer Action Jackson, months before the release of Baahubali: The Beginning. The song "Punjabi Mast" from Action Jackson features Prabhas in a special appearance. He was seen dancing alongside Sonakshi Sinha for a few moments.

His appearance in the song video, before the release of Baahubali, was apparently targeted to strengthen his visibility among Hindi movie lovers. However, the attempt did not turn out to be much fruitful as the movie Action Jackson bombed at the box office.

There were also reports that Prabhas was upset with the box office failure of the film, as his first Bollywood appearance almost went unnoticed. Nevertheless, the first part of Baahubali was a major hit, and then Baahubali 2 became the highest grossing Indian movie ever. Hence, Prabhas does not have any regrets about his debut Bollywood appearance, as he has anyway become a popular figure across the country.

Directed by SS Rajamouli, Baahubali 2 features Prabhas as a strong and benevolent king, who stood by his wife for the right cause. Check the Hindi song video featuring Prabhas:
