Randhawa, whose real name is Bikramjit Singh Randhawa, began his career as a TV presenter with Tashan Da Peg on 9X Tashan.

The actor, who is also a singer, rose to popularity with the 2022 film Shooter, which was based on the life of Indian gangster Sukha Kahlon. The movie was initially banned for concerns that it promoted violence, but it was ultimately released after a two-year delay and became a box office success in India.
