Verma began his acting career with
Marzi and subsequently featured in
Little Things. Alongside these projects, he has been involved in television commercials. Verma revealed that during his time as a junior artist on the set of
Super 30, where he earned ₹800 rupees per day, he learned extensively from observing others. Inspired by the experience of working alongside 200 people daily, he resolved that his future lay in pursuing greater achievements in cinema rather than continuing in his current role for an extended period. It was his role opposite
Manoj Bajpayee in
The Family Man 2 that gained him recognition. He played Kalyan, Dhruti's (played by
Ashlesha Thakur) friend involved with terrorists. In 2023, he made his film debut appearing in
Safed in the role of a transgender. Sana Farzeen of
India Today wrote, "Given his age and lack of experience, Abhay Verma tries to give an honest performance", adding that he "falter[s] when it comes to acing the body language, and also overacts in a few emotional moments". In 2024, he featured in the biographical drama
Ae Watan Mere Watan, starring
Sara Ali Khan as
Usha Mehta. Zinia Bandyopadhyay of
India Today noted that his performance stood out in a poorly written film. In the same year, he had his
breakout role as the lead character of a young man terrorised by a monster in the comedy horror film
Munjya. The fourth installment in the
Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, the film was inspired by
Indian folklore and
mythology, focusing on the legend of
munjya.
Shubhra Gupta of
The Indian Express took note of how well he played his "earnest-and-bewildered" character. It emerged as the
eighth highest grossing Hindi film of 2024. Verma filmed a role portraying a young version of India's Prime Minister
Narendra Modi in the film
Mann Bairagi, which was filmed in the late 2010s and has not-yet been released. He will next feature among an ensemble led by
Shah Rukh Khan in
Siddharth Anand's action thriller film
King. He will also star opposite Rasha Thadani in the romantic action film
Laikey Laikaa and with Shanaya Kapoor in Shujaat Saudagar’s as-yet untitled romantic film. == Filmography ==
