Kapoor began his career as an assistant director on the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Aks. He began his acting career training under theatre legend Barry John. He continued his theatre career with Motley, a theater group run by Naseeruddin Shah. He made his movie debut starring opposite Tabu in Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities.

In 2006, Kunal Kapoor became an overnight sensation with the hit film Rang De Basanti. The film was critically and commercially successful; it was India's official entry to the Oscars and was nominated in the Best Foreign Film category at the 2007 BAFTA Awards. His performance was acclaimed and he received a Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award nomination.

In 2007, he starred in the movie Hattrick. However, the movie failed to do well at the box office. His next two films, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag and Aaja Nachle, also failed to make an impact at the box office. Kunal Kapoor also appeared in Welcome to Sajjanpur, which released on 19 September 2008. He has endorsed popular brands like Thums up, Indian terrain, Ray Ban and Mahindra Logan. Along with actress Gwyneth Paltrow, he is also the face of the NGO Save the Children. Though his films have not done as well as expected, his popularity among female fans continues to grow. He is known to be very selective about the work he does and had a release in National Award-winning director Rahul Dholakia's Lamhaa after two years, for which he received critical acclaim.

Kapoor voiced the Indian god Rama in Mahayoddha Rama, directed by Raizada Rohit Jaising Vaid. The film is an animated mythological movie based on the Ramayana. He will appear in Anurag Kashyap’s next film, where he will play Raj Comics' superhero Doga. Kapoor is scheduled to begin shooting a romantic comedy film in early 2011. He will also appear in a film called Chamkila, a biography of popular Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila.

In 2009, Kunal started writing weekly columns for HT City, the lifestyle supplement of the Hindustan Times. These columns ended in November 2009 but still appear online on the social network Desimartini.
