Sharvari made her film debut alongside Rani Mukerji, Saif Ali Khan and Siddhant Chaturvedi in Yash Raj Films (YRF)'s crime comedy Bunty Aur Babli 2, which was released in 2021.[7] Her performance earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut and IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year – Female. Hindustan Times noted, "Sharvari is pretty confident for her first film and has a great screen presence."[8] It did not perform well at the box-office.[9]

Her next release was three years later, in the comedy horror film Munjya in 2024. Inspired by the Maharashtrian folktale of munjya, the film served as an instalment of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe.[10] Upon the release of the film Sukanya Verma from Rediff opined, "Sharvari sticks to her brief -- beam in enthusiasm, scowl in prosthetics".[11] Commercially, the film emerged as a sleeper hit and proved to be her breakout role.[12][13] Sharvari had a brief role (billed as a special appearance) opposite debutante Junaid Khan in YRF's period drama Maharaj, a delayed production that was released on Netflix.[14] In her third release of the year, Sharvari played the title role of a Dalit woman in the action drama Vedaa, co-starring John Abraham.[15] In a mixed review of the film, Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in took note of how well she "channel[led] her heroine’s fighting spirit".[16] It emerged as a box-office bomb, which The Times of India attributed to its release alongside Stree 2.[17]

Sharvari will next join the YRF Spy Universe with Alia Bhatt in Alpha and star alongside Diljit Dosanjh and Vedang Raina in Imtiaz Ali's as-yet untitled directorial.[18][19]
