 * Early career

After graduate school, Nagesh worked as an environmental consultant at Trinity Consultants in Dallas, Texas, and then Atlanta, Georgia. He also attended workshops in film and television. He studied acting at the Warehouse Actor's Theatre in Atlanta, and in 1994 co-produced and directed a short film, "One Culture at a Time". He briefly returned to India to pursue a career in film making, but realized that he was short of money. He returned to the U.S to work as a consultant and build his fortune. In 1998, he returned to India to pursue his dream of filmmaking.

It was featured in ten international film festivals, it ran for more than six months in theatres in Hyderabad, Mumbai and Bangalore.
 * Movie career

After the success of his first movie, he went on to work with well-known actors and experimented in several genres. Rockford is a coming-of-the-age movie set in a boarding school, and co-stars Nandita Das.

Bollywood Calling is a satirical look at the Bollywood industry through the eyes of a failed Hollywood actor. It stars Om Puri, Navin Nischol, and Perizaad Zorabian. Kukunoor wrote, directed, and starred in the movie.

He made a sequel to Hyderabad Blues but it was not successful. While waiting to see the fate of his two earlier films, he wrote the script going back to where he was when he made Hyderabad Blues.
 * Later movies

Unlike in his earlier movies, he did not star in his 2005 movie Iqbal. Iqbal looks at the story of a deaf and mute cricketer hailing from a poor family of Indian Muslims who wants to make the Indian cricket team. The film won critical acclaim and several awards. The story, written by Vipul K Rawal, was well received.

Dor, released in 2006, received positive reviews in India. Inspired by the Malayalam film Perumazhakkalam, it is a tale of two women from two different worlds.

In 2008, Kukunoor made Bombay To Bangkok with Shreyas Talpade. His cast members from Iqbal, Shreyas Talpade and Yatin Karyekar, also appeared.

Kukunoor was an extended guest judge on the television show K for Kishore in 2007.
