Roy initially pursued hotel management and after the completion of his studies, he resided withSubhash Ghai who persuaded him not to pursue a film career due to the difficulties associated with it.

He then went on to star in That Girl in Yellow Boots, Student of the Year, Midnight's Children, Shootout at Wadala, Ugly, and Boss. He owns Ace Security and Protection Agency which caters to Bollywood actors and politicians, as well as Bollywood movie productions.
