He began his career as a fashion model, but left it to pursue acting as an assistant director to Karan Johar in My Name Is Khan (2010). He had his first lead role in Johar's teen film Student of the Year (2012).
Malhotra went on to star in such commercially successful films as the romantic comedy Hasee Toh Phasee (2014), the thriller Ek Villain (2014), and the drama Kapoor & Sons (2016). From 2016 to 2018, he appeared in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list.[3] Following a career downturn, with critical and commercial failures such as A Gentleman (2017), Aiyaary (2018) and Jabariya Jodi (2019), he gained critical praise for starring as Vikram Batra in the war film Shershaah (2021), earning a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor.[4] In 2024, he led the action thriller series Indian Police Force.
