Mohamed Jumayyil
Mohamed Jumayyil is a Maldivian actor.
Early life
Mohamed Jumayyil's father Ahmed Nimal is one of the established actor and director of the industry.[1] Jumayyil went to Ahmadiyya Pre-school as his first institution. He completed his primary education at Jamaluddin School before completing his secondary education at Dharumavantha School.[1] After completing his GCE Ordinary Level exams, Nimal, inclined Jumayyil to persuade a career in film industry.[1] He then offered a chance to act in one of his directed films due to his interest for acting in films. During the time, he was a football player at B.G. Sports Club.[1] He also worked at Singapore Airlines Cargo, before shifting his job and working as an Airport check-in staff.[1]
Career
In 2014, Jumayyil made his film debut with Ahmed Nimal's Aniyaa, alongside Niuma Mohamed, Ismail Rasheed and Fathmath Fareela.[2][3] Due to some struggle caused during the screening of the film, it failed to garner enough hype to the film. Despite doing average business, Jumayyil's character was met with mixed to positive response from critics.[4][5] The following year, Jumayyil appeared in Ali Shifau-directed romantic film Emme Fahu Vindha Jehendhen opposite Mariyam Majudha, where he portrayed the role of Ryan.[6] The film along with Jumayyil's acting was critically acclaimed. In a pre-premiere review from Vaguthu, Ismail Nail praised Jumayyil and Majudha's chemistry in the film and mentioned how he has improved compared to his work in Aniyaa.[7] The film was the highest grossing film of the year, and was a commercial success.[8]
Jumayyil was next featured in Ali Shifau-directed romantic comedy Vaashey Mashaa Ekee (2016) opposite Majudha. In the film, he played the role of Ziyad, a person with a very different taste of his partner.[9] His performance was positively mentioned in the reviews, Ahmed Nadheem from Avas picked Jumayyil as the only actor who has shown a major improvement in acting compared to his previous works. He further rated Jumayyil at the same level of Majudha—whom Nadheem considered as the best actor of the film.[10] The film was eventually declared as the highest grossing film of the year.[11]
