She played her first lead role in the 2005 Telugu comedy Hungama (2005) appearing alongside Ali and Venu Madhav and signed on to shoot for thirty days after the director Krishna Reddy convinced her with the role. The actress won the Nandi Award for Best Female Comedian for her role in Paisalo Paramatma (2007), her biggest recognition til date.[6]
After appearing in a full-fledged supporting role in the 2007 Telugu film Adivaram Adavallaku Selavu, Abhinayashree opted against appearing in any more item numbers, but soon went back on her decision explaining that the likes of Mumaith Khan were successfully able to balance both.[7]
On the TV front, she has hosted the dance show Junior Super Dancer (2015–2016). She took part in the reality show Star Wars (2017–2018).[8] Abhinayashree participated in Bigg Boss (Telugu season 6) (2022) hosted by Nagarjuna and was evicted on the 14th day.[9]
