Prior to making his debut as an actor, Kapoor worked with film director David Dhawan as an assistant. Following this, he trained as an actor with Roshan Taneja and Mahendra Verma, in their acting school, and in dance with Nimesh Bhatt.[5][6]

He made his debut in 2001 under guidance of his Gujarat-based friend Dharmanshu Parmar alias Monty with the blockbuster Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai, a remake of the Telugu super hit Tholi Prema, along with Kareena Kapoor.[7] He received the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut for his work in the film. He then starred as Rahul in a coming of age film Kyaa Dil Ne Kahaa alongside Esha Deol.[8]

Kapoor starred in two more Telugu remakes Jeena Sirf Merre Liye (2002), and Yeh Dil (2003), which fared poorly at the box office. He then appeared in Ram Gopal Varma's production Gayab (2004) and received appreciation for his work[9] though the film was declared below average at the box office. Starting in 2004, Kapoor starred in commercial hits such as Khakee (2004), Kyaa Kool Hai Hum (2005), Golmaal (2006), Shootout at Lokhandwala (2007) in which he essayed the role of gangster Dilip Buwa and received good reviews, Golmaal Returns (2008), Golmaal 3 (2010), The Dirty Picture (2011), Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum (2012), the critically acclaimed Shor in the City (2012), and Shootout at Wadala (2013).[10][11][12]

In 2012, Kapoor took part in the "Fashion for a Cause" event which raised money for homeless children.[13] He has co-produced the film Chaar Din Ki Chandni (2012), in which he also starred.[14] He also starred as the lead actor in adult comedies Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 (2016) and Mastizaade (2016) both of which have done average business at the box office.[15]

In 2017 Kapoor once again starred as Lucky in Golmaal Again and the comedy film was a blockbuster.[16] In 2018 he was seen in a cameo in the superhit Simmba, in the song Aankh Marey a part of which he has also voiced. In 2019, he starred as Manav in the ALT Balaji's web horror series Boo Sabki Phategi alongside Mallika Sherawat.[17] In 2020 he produced Laxmii which starred Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani, Sharad Kelkar and Ashwini Kalsekar.[18] The film is co-produced by his production house Tushar Entertainment.[19]

In 2021, he made his debut as an author with ‘Bachelor Dad’ published by Penguin. The book chronicles his journey as a single parent and addresses some issues facing single fathers. In 2022, Kapoor starred and produced crime-thriller film Maarrich. He played the role of Rajiv Dixit, a fearless cop who is on the hunt to find a murderer. [20]
