Kai Po Che released in 2013 and starred Rajkummar Rao and Amit Sadh along with Sushant Singh Rajput. The film revolved around three friends growing up in India at the turn of the millennium set out to open a training academy to produce the country's next cricket stars.

Back in 2018, Abhishek Kapoor directed him in Kedarnath starring Sara Ali Khan in the lead role. The film was a Hindu-Muslim love story that portrayed how a Muslim pithoo saves a Hindu tourist from the Uttrakhand floods at the pilgrimage and the love that eventually develops between them.
