Sharwanand first came to media attention in a Thums Up advertisement with Chiranjeevi. He later made his acting debut in Telugu with Aidho Tareeku in 2003 and proceeded to share screen space with Chiranjeevi in Shankar Dada M.B.B.S. and with Venkatesh in Sankranthi and Lakshmi in supporting roles.

Critical acclaim and forays into Tamil cinema (2005–⁠2014)

[edit]

Prasthanam was a cult classic. These films won him accolades.

Commercial breakthrough and success (2014–⁠present)

[edit]

Sharwanand got his commercial breakthrough with the film, Run Raja Run, which was one of the blockbusters of the year 2014. This film, produced by UV Creations, was the second venture after their first blockbuster film, Mirchi. Sharwanand's portrayal of the lead, Raja, won him accolades. Sharwanand new look in the film with bright and colourful outfits is an added boost for his character's portrayal. Sharwanand's next film was Malli Malli Idi Rani Roju, with Nithya Menen, directed by Kranthi Madhav, which received positive applause from critics and ran as a decent movie. Sharwanand's following film was Express Raja, which was a hit at the box office.

Cheran's directorial venture JK Enum Nanbanin Vaazhkai, which was released in Telugu in 2016 with Nithya Menen was below average at the box office.[14]

Sharwanand's movie Sathamanam Bhavati collected almost 50 crores,[15] produced by Dil Raju and directed by Satish Vegesna.

Sharwanand released his 25th film titled Radha, which was produced by the noted producer B. V. S. N. Prasad under his production banner SVCC cinema, but to mixed reviews. Sharwanand then starred in Mahanubhavudu, which released on 29 September 2017, directed by Maruthi and gained critical and commercial success.

Sharwanand's last movie was released on 7 February 2020, titled as Jaanu. It was directed by C. Prem Kumar[16] which is a remake of his own Tamil film '96.

After that, he starred in Maha Samudram, with Siddharth, which was directed by Ajay Bhupathi of RX100 fame. It was produced by Anil Sunkara. However, it released to negative reviews and turned out to be a huge flop. He then starred in the science fiction time travel bilingual, Oke Oka Jeevitham, with Amala Akkineni, Ritu Varma, Vennela Kishore, and Priyadarshi Pullikonda. It was directed by Shree Karthick and produced by Dream Warrior Pictures. It released to generally positive reviews; after series of flops, it was a decent hit for him.

A political thriller directed by Krishna Chaitanya and bankrolled by People Media Factory, was launched with Sharwanand, Raashii Khanna, and Priyamani. However, due to undisclosed reasons, the film never started shooting and was eventually shelved. Sithara Entertainments decided to bankroll the film and launched it with Vishwak Sen and Anjali instead. People Media Factory instead backed and launched a romantic thriller with Sriram Adittya and Sharwanand, titled Manamey, set in London.

On 6 March 2024, his 36th and 37th films with Loser and Samajavaragamana fames Abhilash Reddy Kankara and Ram Abbaraju were launched, respectively. He also announced the birth of his daughter, Leela Devi Myneni, on the same day.[17]
