In 2019, Karan made his Bollywood debut with the commercially unsuccessful Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, directed by Sunny. His next project is Apne 2, in which he will star alongside Sunny, Dharmendra and Bobby Deol. The film is a sequel to the 2007 sports drama featuring Dharmendra as a boxer who is falsely accused of doping and tries to reclaim his lost respect through his sons, played by Sunny and Bobby. Anil Sharma will return as the director of the sequel as well.

Sunny announced Apne 2 on the occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti and tweeted, “Babaji ke aashirwaad aur aapke pyaar ki wajah se aaj hum vapas ek sath nazar aayenge (With the blessings of Babaji and your love, all of us will be seen together, again). Feeling blessed to get a chance to work with my father, brother again this time with my son. #Apne2, in cinemas Diwali 2021.”
