Fahadh is married to actress Nazriya Nazim.

Early years

Fahadh is the son of film director Fazil and his wife Rozina. He has two sisters, Ahameda and Fatima, and a brother, Farhaan, also an actor. He completed his schooling from SDV Central School Alappuzha, Lawrence School Ooty and Choice School Tripunithura. He went on to pursue his degree from Sanatana Dharma College, Alleppey and M.A. in philosophy from University of Miami in the United States.[7][8]

Career

Fahadh's first film, Kaiyethum Doorath (2002) was directed by his father, director Fazil and failed at the box office.[9][10] Fahadh later defended his father, stating "don't blame my father for my failure because it was my mistake and I came into acting without any preparation of my own".[11] After his debut, he moved to the United States for five years, where he pursued his studies,[12] before returning in 2009 to act in the film Kerala Cafe (2009), conceived by director Ranjith.[13] At Ranjith's behest, director Uday Ananthan cast Fahad in his Mrityunjayam, one of the 10 shorts in the film.[14] He played the role of a journalist in the Mrityunjayam, a ghost film set on a spooky old 'Mana'. He was chosen to co-star in B. Unnikrishnan's Pramani. He then appeared as a business head in the thriller Cocktail (2010). His next film, Tournament, was also a thriller .

His performance in Sameer Thahir's directorial debut Chappa Kurishu, a thriller in which he appeared as the head of a construction business was appreciated. "Arjun – my character in Chappa Kurishu is not a role that an actor gets often. I am very lucky and very fortunate," Fahad said. He shot a long kissing scene with his co-star Remya Nambeesan in the film – supposedly the first ever in Malayalam cinema – which upon release was termed controversial.[15]

Fahadh's next film, Akam, a contemporary adaptation of Malayatoor Ramakrishnan's psycho-thriller novel Yakshi, had him playing Srinivas, a young architect, who starts suspecting that his beautiful wife is a yakshi. "Playing Srinivas was like re-inventing myself. We had a workshop before shooting began and I had ample opportunity to explore the nuances of the character. In the process of re-inventing Srinivas, I reinvented myself," said Fahadh.[14] The film premiered at the Dubai International Film Festival. 22 Female Kottayam, a revenge film had him playing a negative character. In his next film, Lal Jose's Diamond Necklace, he played the role of an oncologist working in Dubai and the film centred on the doctor's relationship with three different women.[16]

In June 2012, a case was registered against Fahadh by the Kochi Town Central Police for violation of the rule against public display of images of smoking. A poster of Diamond Necklace that showed him smoking a cigarette had been on display before the Kavitha Theatre in Kochi since the film was released.[17]

In his next film, Lijin Jose's Friday, he acted as an auto rickshaw driver.[18] The same year, he appeared in The Day of Judgement, one of the three featurettes from the portmanteau film D Company.[19] His other films were cinematographer Rajeev Ravi's directorial debut Annayum Rasoolum, Lijo Jose Pellissery's Amen, V. K. Prakash's Natholi Oru Cheriya Meenalla and Salam Bappu's directorial debut Red Wine. Amen was named as one of the best films of the year by Khaleej Times[20] while Annayum Rasoolum managed to be a hit[vague].[21] In 2014, he acted in the big budget movie, Iyobinte Pusthakam which was produced by him. He also played a major role in the blockbuster movie Bangalore days. 2015 was a dull year for him as he was unable to pull off a successful project. In 2016, his first release, Monsoon Mangoes failed at the box office, even though his performance was highly praised and the movie gathered good critic responses. His next release was on 5 February 2016 Maheshinte Prathikaaram which went on to become a blockbuster. It was highly applauded by both audience and critics.[citation needed] His had continuous box office successes with Varathan, Njan Prakashan, and Kumbalangi Nights which collectively grossed more than ₹ 100 crore at the box office.[22]

Fahadh also appears in Tamil cinema, he debuted in the industry through the movie Velaikkaran starring Sivakarthikeyan, opposite whom he plays the antagonist. He next appeared in the critically acclaimed film Super Deluxe where he co-starred alongside Vijay Sethupathi, Samantha Akkineni and Ramya Krishnan, his performance in the film was well appreciated by critics, with them saying his character was written well.[23]

Personal life

On 20 January 2014, he got engaged to Malayalam film actress Nazriya Nazim[24] whom he married on 21 August 2014.[25][26] The pair got to know each other more on the sets of Anjali Menon's Bangalore Days (2014), in which they played the roles of husband and wife.
