Kapoor made his acting debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya (2007), which failed commercially but won him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. His first hit was Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008). In 2009 he starred in Wake Up Sid, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year, winning the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor for the three films. He then played Samar Pratap in the political drama Raajneeti (2010).
His performances as the troubled musician Jordan in Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar (2011) and as a deaf-and-mute man in Anurag Basu's Barfi! (2012) won him consecutive Filmfare Awards for Best Actor. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013) was a major commercial success. Later films included Bombay Velvet and Tamasha (both 2015) and Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016).
He produced and starred in Jagga Jasoos (2017) and played actor Sanjay Dutt in Rajkumar Hirani's biopic Sanju (2018), one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of that year, which won him his third Filmfare Award for Best Actor. After a break, he returned with Shamshera and Ayan Mukerji's fantasy film Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva (both 2022).
In 2023 he starred in the romantic comedy Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and Sandeep Reddy Vanga's action drama Animal, which became his highest-grossing film at the time and won him a fourth Filmfare Award for Best Actor. He made guest appearances in the series The Romantics (2023) and The Ba***ds of Bollywood (2025).
He plays Rama in Ramayana: Part 1, Nitesh Tiwari's two-part adaptation co-starring Sai Pallavi and Yash, released in November 2026. According to Bollywood Hungama, the film earned ₹103.47 crore net on its first Monday, the biggest single-day collection of his career. His upcoming films include Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War and Ramayana: Part 2.
In 2014 he became a co-owner of the Indian Super League football club Mumbai City FC, and in 2024 he launched the lifestyle brand ARKS. He plays for the celebrity charity football team All Stars Football Club and has supported causes such as the Mijwan Welfare Society and Paani Foundation.
In October 2023 the Enforcement Directorate summoned Kapoor for questioning in its money-laundering investigation into the Mahadev online betting app, in connection with payments for promotional work; reports said he was summoned to give information, not as an accused. In September 2025 the National Human Rights Commission, acting on a complaint, asked Mumbai Police to examine action against him, the producers and Netflix over a scene in The Ba***ds of Bollywood in which his character uses an e-cigarette. No charges against him had been reported in either matter as of November 2026.
