Early life

Singh began his film career in 2010 with

Nushrat Bharucha in Luv Ranjan's romantic drama Akaash Vani, which was a commercial failure.[5]

Singh reteamed with Aaryan, Ranjan and Bharucha for Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, a sequel to the 2011 film Pyaar Ka Punchnama and co-starring Aaryan, Bharucha, Omkar Kapoor, Ishita Raj Sharma and Sonnalli Seygall. With a worldwide total of ₹88 crore (US$11 million), it emerged as his first commercial success.[6] His highest-grossing release came in 2018[7] when he teamed up with the trio for the third time in Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety.[8]
