With his performance as Aamir Hassan in Dhoom Machaao Dhoom, Vikrant made his acting debut. He went on to become well-known for his parts in Dharam Veer, Baba Aiso Varr Dhoondo, and Qubool Hai.

With Lootera, he made his acting debut. He also had supporting roles in Dil Dhadakne Do, Half Girlfriend, A Death in the Gunj, and Chhapaak. He also received a lot of praise for his leading parts in the hit online series Broken But Beautiful and Mirzapur during this period.
