Jaideep did theatre at a young age but wanted to be an Indian Army officer. However, after not clearing his SSB interviews, multiple times, he ventured into acting. He used to do stage shows in Punjab and Haryana.[8] He started to take acting seriously only after his graduation. He entered the film world the hard way, without any godfather.[9] After completing his education in 2008, he headed to Mumbai to pursue his dreams to become an actor. He started his career in Bollywood.
He was first noticed in a negative character portrayal in Priyadarshan's Khatta Meetha (2010). In the same year he appeared in Aakrosh with Ajay Devgn.[10] Thereafter he did more films including Anurag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) and Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam (2012).[11][12] Gangs of Wasseypur came as a turning point in Jaideep’s life, as its success helped him gain enough recognition in India. Jaideep then appeared in a Tamil spy thriller film Vishwaroopam with Haasan, which turned out to be a great success in the south in 2013. He appeared in a Hindi version of the same film called Vishwaroop, made in the same year, which gave him more recognition. Impressed by his acting skills and popularity, Haasan got him into the sequel Vishwaroopam 2 as well, which released in 2016.
He was also seen in the series Bard of Blood,[13] and played a negative character in Bollywood film, Khaali Peeli, which was released in October 2020.[14]
