- Horror Story as Neel (lead role), the movie did not make much of the profits.
- Mere Yaar Kaminey as Ketan (lead role), the movie was never released.
- Control Bhaji Control as Dicky (Supporting role), flop.
- Mubarakan as Manpreet (supporting role), successful movie.
- 1921 as Ayush Ashthana (lead role), yet to come results.
The latest movie, which he has signed as the lead role will be a huge test for him because the Vikram Bhatt produces it with a huge investment, the horror movie has Zarine Khan, who is much more popular than Karan and also he has cinema legend Anupam Kher in the movie.
If the horror movie blows up on the big screen, he will be sure to get better opportunities in coming future.
