Development

edit

In May 2013, it was announced that Ahmed Nimal decided to launch his son, Mohamed Jumayyil's career with the film Aniyaa, alongside a star cast of Niuma Mohamed, Ismail Rasheed and Fathimath Fareela. It was initially slated to release on 26 September 2016.[1] However, due to delayed post-production it was later pushed to an early November 2013 release,[2] before finalising to release the film on 28 March 2014.[3]

Release and response

edit

The film was released on 28 March 2014. Producers were able to screen limited shows of the film due to the technical errors caused within the cinema, forcing abrupt interruptions in screening further shows.[4] Due to this struggle, it failed to garner enough hype to the film.[5]
