Anubhav made his debut in the Bengali film industry with the movie Saathi Amaar opposite Rachana Banerjee in a special appearance.[4][5] In 2019, Anubhav Mohanty starred in his most expensive Odia movie Biju Babu directed by Nila Madhab Panda,[6] which didn't do well as expected at the box office due to some political controversy .[citation needed]
