Ahmed Nimal is a Maldivian actor, director, editor, writer and producer.

Early life

[edit]

Prior to acting in films, Nimal worked at Maldives Meteorological Service office.[1] His interest in films and acting grew due to the influence of his colleagues including Easa Shareef and other friends who actively take part in theatre plays.[1]

Career

[edit]

Nimal made his career debut with Nufoozu (1984), an initiation by Shareef and his colleagues. Initially assigned to work behind the camera, Shareef requested him to star in the lead role of the film due to a date conflict of the original actor who was offered the role first. Afterwards, he started working as a full-time actor and led an organization "Dhivehi Harakaaiy Jamiyya" along with Shareef.[1]

In 1993, Nimal wrote and directed his most successful release, a drama film, Sitee starring opposite his wife, Fathimath Rameeza. Based on true incidents which occurred with a friend, the film focuses on a fisherman who later turns to be a successful businessman and his search for his father.[2] The film and the song "Mulhi Jaan Hithaa" are considered to be his most "dedicated work in his career" since the latter took a month to be filmed while shot in five different islands from five atolls.[2]

In 2000, Nimal acted and directed year's most successful Maldivian film, a horror classic Zalzalaa (2000) featuring Niuma Mohamed, Ibrahim Wisan and Ali Shameel in pivotal roles.[3] The film follows a man who lost his life and endangering his whole family while being lured by a female spirit sent off to complete an unfulfilled prophecy.[4] The following year, he worked in Aishath Ali Manik's Hiiy Edhenee (2001) which was an unofficial remake of Dharmesh Darshan's romantic film Dhadkan (2000) starring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Shilpa Shetty in the lead role.[5] Cast opposite Ali Seezan and Sheela Najeeb, he played the role of an influential and cunning step-father.[6] His next directorial venture was the film Sababu starred opposite Ibrahim Giyas and Aishath Shiranee where he played the fiancé who sacrificed his love for the sake of his friend's happiness.[7]

In 2005, Nimal starred alongside Niuma Mohamed, Ali Seezan and Sheereen Abdul Wahid in his horror film Handhu Keytha (2005) which unfolds the story of a man who was enchanted by a spirit while witnessing a lunar eclipse.[8] In the film, he played the spell-maker trying to save his crush from the evil spirit.[8]
