Acting Career: Hooda's debut film was Mira Nair's Oscar-nominated Monsoon Wedding. It won multiple awards globally, including a BAFTA and Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. After Monsoon Wedding, Hooda joined noted Indian actor Naseeruddin Shah's theater troupe Motley, and dedicated many years of his life to theater in an attempt to immerse himself in the craft.

Hooda's next release was Deepak Tijori's 'Do Lafzon Ki Kahani'. His final release of 2016 was the sports drama 'Sultan'. In 2018, he returned to the silver screen again with 'Baaghi 2'.
