Satyadev started his career with short films. His first appearance in a feature film was Mr. Perfect (2011). He then continued to do minor roles in films like Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu and Mukunda. Satydev's first film in a noticeable role was Maine Pyar Kiya.[8] Although the film received limited response, a critic from the Deccan Chronicle wrote that "Another promising debutant is Satya Dev, who had to perform two characters — one young and the other, in the 40s. The variations in both characters are brought out superbly by Dev".[9]

Satyadev was selected from over 500 artistes who auditioned for the lead role in Jyothi Lakshmi.[10][11][12] The film, although a moderate box office success, provided him a much needed recognition in the film industry and after that he got an opportunity to work with Prakash Raj in Mana Oori Ramayanam. He also acted in The Ghazi Attack.[8] He was featured in the music video "Daare Leda" alongside Roopa Kodavayur.[13] It is performed by Roshan Sebastian, composed by Vijay Bulganin, written by KK and produced by Nani.[14][15]
