Mayar started his career in 2005 when he was only eight years old. He joined Shri Raam Center in Delhi by his uncle Sunil Kumar because his parents were not able to afford the fee of his acting classes. During that time, he played 5–6 stage shows. 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.
