He made his directorial début with ''[[Aryan (2006 film)|Aryan]]'' in 2006 which was a critical and commercial flop.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/54472 |title=Aryan – Unbreakable: Critic review |author=Taran Adarsh |author-link=Taran Adarsh |work=[[Bollywood Hungama]] |date=15 December 2006 |access-date=3 March 2014}}</ref><ref name=un/><br />
<br />
In 2008, he wrote and directed ''[[Rock On!!]]'' an Indian Rock musical film starring [[Farhan Akhtar]] and [[Arjun Rampal]] that did average but is hailed as a veritable cult classic and won the "National Award for Best Hindi Film" for outstanding artistic contribution towards cinema. The film went on to become a major success, bringing not just accolades but also a [[Filmfare Award]] in 2009.<ref name=un>{{cite web|url=http://expressindia.indianexpress.com/story_print.php?storyId=357659 |archive-url=https://archive.is/20140303205945/http://expressindia.indianexpress.com/story_print.php?storyId=357659 |url-status=dead |archive-date=3 March 2014 |title=The rocking underdog: Abhishek Kapoor |author=Shweta Teotia.

In 2013, "[[Kai Po Che]]" (2013) based on [[Chetan Bhagat]]'s novel, 'The 3 Mistakes of my Life' had its world premiere at the 63rd Berlin Film Festival's World Panorama segment and won the [[Filmfare Award]] in 2014 for Best Screenplay. In 2016, ''[[Fitoor]]'', an adaptation of Charles Dicken's Great Expectations was a worthy follow-up showcasing his unique expression and venturing into the field of production.
