Dassani starred in the 2022 film Nikamma with Shilpa Shetty and Shirley Setia. The film saw him as an unemployed person and received negative reviews. Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV stated, “The young actor does have potential but he needs to be far more judicious with his choice of roles.
Here, he struggles to rise above the script.” Dassani appeared in a cameo in Monica, O My Darling, the same year. In 2023, he did a cameo in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, alongside his parents. Bollywood Hungama wrote that he "delivers a fine performance" in his special appearance.
