Afterwards he gave 180 auditions for singing, dancing and acting. He was selected for Chillar Party but he did not match for the role and decided not to work for the film because he cracked his right hand while playing. After a few months when his hand was all right, he got a call for an audition. Initially Mayar showed no interest but his parents convinced him for the audition and he gave it. After one week he received the call and was selected for the film I Am Kalam. The film was shot in Rajasthan in 2009 and he worked with debut director- Nila Madhab Panda and with veteran actor Gulshan Grover and comic actor Pitobash Tripathy.

He has worked in Chaarfutiya Chhokare (1 August 2014) with Soha Ali Khan, in a Bollywood thriller film, written and directed by Manish Harishankar and produced by Sunill Khosla & Vibha Dutta Khosla.

Harsh Mayar is a part of Hindi musical play Paighamber directed by Vikas Dwivedi with Tom Alter & Amit Behl in lead roles. The musical play is inspired by the classic of literature world The Prophet by the great author Dr. Kahlil Gibran. How easy it would be to be distracted in one's life. Life which is made of five elements, earth, water, fire, air and ether, each having its own character. The play begins with the birth of a human life Anannt (Harsh) out of these five elements. He feels an overwhelming need to be free from love, marriage, emotions, knowledge, religion, jealousy, sorrow, pain, pleasure, friendship, beauty and death. The play depicts the various moments in his life, numerous emotions, and how he met Paighamber at every phase of his life and how Paighamber guided and enlightened him and how by seeking the advice of Paighamber, this kid has grown up into a better human being. And however, in the mean time, it has been divulged that this grown up, bright, quick witted kid is none other than Dr. Kahlil Gibran and the Paighamber he met at various aspects of life is nothing but his own subconscious which kept telling him what is wrong and what is right. The play incorporates the rich folk music of Chhattisgarh and Haryana as well as the famous Karma dance form of Chhattisgarh along with live music and singing.
