In 2016 , Jumaih made his film debut in Hussain Munawwar 's '' Neyngi Yaaru Vakivee '' alongside Aminath Rishfa and Ahmed Azmeel . Critics gave the film bad reviews and considered his performance as Sham , to be " boring " while criticising the character development . However , Ahmed Jaishan of '' Vaguthu '' , found Jumaih 's acting to be " natural and impressive " considering his debut role and picked him as the " biggest highlight " from the " disappointing " film . Despite the negative reviews , the film did average business at the end of its run . Jumaih 's other release of the year came with Fathimath Nahula 's horror film '' 4426 '' , where he portrayed the role of Hanim , an aggressive member of the friends who get trapped in a haunted house . Upon release , the film received mostly positive reviews from critics . Ahmed Nadheem of '' Avas '' labelled the film as a " masterpiece " and mentioned Jumaih to be the " surprising element " of the film . Complimenting the improvements he showed from '' Neyngi Yaaru Vakivee '' , Nadheem picked his role as the second best performance of the film ; " With compliments to Nahula for her character building , Jumaih was deep in the character of Hanim , portraying the role to its fullest " . With twenty-five back-to-back housefull shows being screened , '' 4426 '' was declared as the highest grossing Maldive film of the year . At the 8th Gaumee Film Awards Jumaih received a nomination for Best Male Debut award for his performance in '' Neyngi Yaaru Vakivee '' with another nomination for Best Makeup in '' 4426 ''
