Barve received a B.Sc. in Chemistry from Patkar College, Mumbai and worked as a medical representative in a company in Mumbai, but quit this job and turned towards acting.
Sunil Barve's production company Subak (Sunil Barve Kalakruti) has produced various plays. In 2010, as Barve completed 25 years in the Marathi theatre, he launched a new project called Herbarium. He reported that he wanted to "bring back the lost glory of Marathi musical plays" through this project and remade five classic plays with new directors and new cast; the theater directors were Pratima Kulkarni, Chandrakant Kulkarni, Mangesh Kadam, Vijay Kenkre and Girish Joshi, and Barve asked the directors to choose their play. Though the play and its star-cast was decided in advance, Barve decided to keep the name of the next play a surprise, to be announced only at the 25th show of the currently performed play.
