Anushka Sharma then started her acting career and made her debut in Aditya Chopras' Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi movie in 2008 and was cast opposite superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

Her role in the movie was praised by the critics and she won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the movie. She played one of the biggest roles of her career in 2014 in the Rajkumar Hiranis religious satire PK with Aamir Khan who plays the role of an alien. She portrayed the role of Jagat Janani who is a television journalist and befriends an alien. The film gained critical acclaims and emerged as the highest grossing Bollywood film with world-wide revenue of US$100 million. Anushka Sharma then took a new professional step in 2014 after she launched her own production company with her brother and the production company was named Clean Slate Films.

The first release of her production company was Navdeep Singhs thriller NH10 in the year 2015. Anushka herself played the lead role in the movie and received critical acclaims for her role. The film also emerged as a box office success. She then played the lead role in Anurag Kashyaps Bombay Velvet co-starring with Ranbir Kapoor and Karan Johar. Her role was of a jazz singer Rosie Noronha. However, the film wasnt successful at the box office and the movie failed in recovering its 1.2 bilion rupees investment. In the same year she featured in Zoya Akhtars Dil Dhadakne Do starring with Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah, Priyanka Chopra, Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar. She was nominated in the Filmfare Awards for Best Actress in NH10 and Best Supporting Actress in Dil Dhadakne Do.

In 2016, she re-united with Yash Raj Films and played the role of Aarfa Hussain in the movie Sultan co starring Salman Khan. She played the role of a wrestler from Haryana. The movie had a tremendous support in the box office and it earned US$ 74 million worldwide. The movie ranks among Indian cinema's biggest earners.
