In 1999 he made his directorial debut with Dillagi starring himself, his brother and Urmila Matondkar.

His first hit in the millennium was Anil Sharma's 2001 film Gadar. In 2003 he teamed up with director Anil Sharma yet again for The Hero: Love Story of a Spy, which also starred Preity Zinta and Priyanka Chopra.[25] Released on 11 April, The Hero was billed as Bollywood's most expensive film at that time with an estimated budget of 600 million (US$8.4 million).[26] The film became the third highest-grossing Bollywood film of that year.[27] Deol appeared alongside his father Dharmendra and brother Bobby Deol together for the first time in Apne (2007).[28] In 2008, he appeared with his brother again in the ensemble film Heroes.

Deol’s first release of 2010 was Neeraj Pathak's crime thriller Right Yaaa Wrong which had him playing a police inspector.[29] Yamla Pagla Deewana which also featured him alongside his father and brother was Deol's only release in 2011 and was one of the biggest successes of the year.[30][31][32] In 2011, he started working in Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru's I Love NY opposite Kangana Ranaut and in Chandraprakash Dwivedi's Mohalla Assi opposite Sakshi Tanwar, but due to some reason both films were delayed and released several years later. For the first time in his career, Deol lent his voice (for Bheem) in the Animated film Mahabharata; produced by Jayantilal Gada of PEN India Pvt Ltd.[33] It earned ₹16.9 millions[34] whereas Yamla Pagla Deewana earned ₹887.25 millions.[35] Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, a sequel to his 2011 hit was released in 2013 but the film was a critical and box office failure. In the end of 2013 Deol teamed up with Anil Sharma yet again for Singh Saab The Great which was loved massively and created a big pandemonium in the cinema hall as well as on Facebook.[36]

In 2016, Ghayal Once Again was released which is a sequel to his 1990 film Ghayal and is the second film directed by him. In 2017 he and his brother appeared in Shreyas Talpade's comedy film Poster Boys, which became a semi hit at the box office.[37] In 2018, Deol appeared in Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se, the third film in the franchise. Also that year, two of his long delayed films Bhaiyyaji Superhitt (where he plays a double role for the first time).[38] and Mohalla Assi were released. In 2019, he directed his third film Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, marking the debut of his son Karan Deol.He will be seen in Apne 2 which will be releasing on Diwali 2021 it will also star Dharmendra, Bobby Deol and Karan Deol.[39]
