Karan Brar’s acting career began in his early teens, and he quickly rose to fame with roles that showcased his comedic timing and dramatic range. At 11 years old, he played Chirag Gupta in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid film series for the first time.

His portrayal of the lovable, mischievous Chirag in Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010), Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2011), and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (2012) introduced him to a wide audience.

In 2012, Brar was cast in the short film ‘Chilly Christmas’, and in 2014, he played the part of Mr. Peabody & Sherman. Both films were well received by critics and his popularity rose.
