Hassan Afeef

Hassan Afeef is a Maldivian film actor. He is celebrated as the actor being featured in the first Maldivian film and song. A group of Maldivians including Afeef came up with the idea of making a regional film for the Maldivian audience though several obstacles emerged including incapability to secure finance and equipment.

Afeef played the role of a teacher who becomes involved in an immoral relationship with one of his students, in Amjad Ibrahim's debut direction Huras (1996). The film was developed solely with the intention of winning Gaumee Film Awards though it failed to garner any award at 2nd Gaumee Film Awards ceremony. In 1999, Afeef played the role of a friend counselling his best friend on dealing with his obsessed girlfriend in Ahmed Ibrahim's Nuruhunvi Loabi. Also, he starred opposite Reeko Moosa Manik, Niuma Mohamed and Mariyam Nazima as an unlucky lover in Easa Shareef-directed Emme Fahu Dhuvas (2000) which follows a devious woman who sunders her best-friend's upcoming marriage by creating false accusation and staging misleading impressions. Mariyam Shauqee's widely acclaimed family drama television series Kahthiri was released during the following year, where he played the role of a mechanical engineer, living in a congested housing complex while dealing with several social issues.

He next starred in Ali Shameel's drama film Hithi Nimun (2001) opposite Mohamed Shavin, Mariyam Nisha and Sheereen Abdul Wahid, which follows the storyline of a stubborn young man who abandons his girlfriend when he discovers about her pregnancy. He was applauded for his performance as the short-tempered husband and a helpful friend, in the Abdul Faththaah-directed critically acclaimed television series, Thiyey Mihithuge Vindhakee (2003) which was considered as one of the best series production in television industry.

Afeef played the role of Shathir, a notable historian, who came to a haunted uninhabited island to prepare a thesis for his PhD in Abdul Fattah's horror film Eynaa (2004). It features Sheela Najeeb, Mohamed Manik, Ahmed Shah, Khadheeja Ibrahim Didi, Ibrahim Jihad and Nashidha Mohamed as six colleagues who go on a picnic to the same island and their battle for survival. The film garnered critical appreciation especially for its technical department and was a commercial success.
