Mohan is known for being the first television personality in South Asia as the host of the first South Asian original program produced by a satellite network (Zee TV), Saanp Seedi (Snakes & Ladders). 

 

Saanp Seedi was the first and only television series launched on satellite in the Asia-Pacific from 1992 - 1994 which included Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Saanp Seedi is best described as a combination of game and talk show starring Kapur with frequent celebrity guests.

 

 His TV success led to a crossover in the Indian Film Industry with his first role being the lead antagonist in Beqabu (1996) which eventually led to a career appearing in over 60 films and TV series. 

 

He often plays the good guy turned bad, the "surprise antagonist", such as in his roles in the Disney+ Hotstar film Sadak 2 (2020) and his award-nominated performance in the Hindi remake of the Israeli series for Disney+ Hotstar Hostages (2019-2020).

 

Kapur is also known for his work as a voice artist and has dubbed for numerous Hollywood actors including Dwayne Johnson, Tom Hardy, Nicolas Cage, and Jackie Chan.
