In 2008, Saeed appeared in a small role in Fathimath Nahula's romantic drama film, Yoosuf which depicts the story of a deaf and mute man (played by Yoosuf Shafeeu) who has been mistreated by a wealthy family, mocking his disability.[22] Featuring an ensemble cast including Yoosuf Shafeeu, Niuma Mohamed, Sheela Najeeb, Ahmed Nimal, Fauziyya Hassan, Mohamed Manik, Ravee Farooq, Zeenath Abbas and Ahmed Lais Asim, the film received widespread critical acclaim and was attained a blockbuster status at box office.[4]

In 2009, Saeed appeared in Ali Shifau's suspense thriller Happy Birthday which narrates the story of a simple man who receives a call on his birthday informing that his wife and son have been kidnapped, only to be returned for a ransom.[23] Saeed played the role of Hussain, a friend of a straightforward man who had an unfortunate birthday.[23] A total of five shows with little occupancy were screened at the cinema, declaring the film a commercial failure, despite the positive response from the critics.[23] Winning five Gaumee Film Awards and twelve Maldives Film Awards, the film was also screened at the Venice Film Festival.[24]

Saeed's only release of 2012 was Abdul Fattah's romantic film Love Story (2012) alongside Ali Seezan, Aishath Rishmy and Amira Ismail.[36][37] Displeased with the screenplay and performance of the actors, Nadheem of Haveeru wrote: "None of the actors were given scope to build their characters and none was able to justify their character. With excessive emotional scenes, actors were exposed to over-acting and nothing more".[37] In 2013, Saeed featured in Ali Shifau-directed horror film Fathis Handhuvaruge Feshun 3D which serves as a prequel to Fathis Handhuvaru (1997) starring Reeko Moosa Manik and Niuma Mohamed in lead roles. It was based on a story by Ibrahim Waheed, Jinaa: Fathis Handhuvaruge Feshun (2009), which itself is a prequel to the story Fathishandhuvaru (1996) written by himself which was later adapted to a film by same name in 1997.[38] The film was marketed as being the first 3D release for a Maldivian film and the first release derived from spin-off.[39] Upon release the film received generally negative reviews from critics.[40][41] Ahmed Nadheem from Haveeru Daily called the film a "disappointment" and Saeed's performance a "forgettable" one.[40]

In 2014, he starred opposite Ali Seezan and Aishath Rishmy in Seezan's directorial venture, psychological thriller Insaana.[42] It revolves around a murder and how the murderer tries to evade from the crime.[43] Made on a budget of MVR 220,000, the film was inspired by Ryan Connolly's short psychological horror film Tell (2012) which is loosely based on the Edgar Allan Poe short story "The Tell-Tale Heart".[44] Upon release, the film received widespread critical acclaim. Hassan Naail from Vaguthu called it "one of the best Maldivian release till date" and was satisfied with the performance of whole cast.[45] At the 2015 South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation Film Festival, Insaana was bestowed with Bronze Medal as Best Film, competing with seventeen regional films.[46][47] He next appeared in the Aishath Fuad Thaufeeq-directed Hulhudhaan alongside Mariyam Majudha and Roanu Hassan Manik which was a critical success.[48] The film was later screened at the Venice Film Festival.[49] The following year, Saeed appeared in Ali Seezan's action film Ahsham.[50] Though the film received mixed reviews from critics, Saeed's performance as Jawid, an underboss was widely acclaimed.[51] It was one of the three entries from the Maldives to the SAARC Film Festival in 2016.[52] At the 8th Gaumee Film Awards Saeed received the Gaumee Best Supporting Actor award for Ahsham.[53]

Saeed again collaborated with Seezan to star in his romantic film Vafaatheri Kehiveriya (2016).[54] The film received a mixed to negative reception from critics. Nadheem blamed the title of the film for giving the impression of "old typical" to the film and considered Saeed's acting to be "strictly average" when compared to his other films.[55] Yoosuf Shafeeu-directed Baiveriyaa (2016), a comedy film featuring an ensemble cast was his second release of the year.[56] The film revolves around an aspiring actress who flees from her family to pursue a career in the industry and the suspicions and confusions that arise.[57] Upon release the film was positively received by critics. Nazim Hassan of Avas applauded the comic timing of the characters and mentioned Saeed's comic sense as a "highlight of the movie" including the scenes in which he depicts different notable film characters.[58] The film emerged as one of the highest grossing Maldivian films of the year.[59]

In 2017, Farooq portrayed MP Manik, a corrupt politician lured into a trap laid by Vishka, played by Aishath Rishmy, in Ravee Farooq's crime thriller Vishka.[60] Prior to release it faced controversies as Hassan Haleel requested a deferred release claiming he allegedly owns the story and script of the film.[61] However, the film was cleared for exhibition with the court order proclaiming that the ownership of the script and story belongs to Rishmy.[62] Upon release, the film opened to a positive response from critics.[63] Mohamed Musthafa of the Sun applauded its "unexpected climax" and Saeed's "exceptional portrayal" of the corrupt politician.[64] Echoing similar sentiments, Ahmed Nadheem of Avas considered his acting to be "per excellence, and beyond Maldivian cinematic standards".[65] The film was screened at the SAARC Film Festival in 2017.[66] He next featured alongside an ensemble cast including Yoosuf Shafeeu, Mohamed Manik, Fathimath Azifa and Ali Seezan in the romantic comedy film Naughty 40 which was directed by Shafeeu.[67] The film revolves around three friends, Ashwanee, Ahsan and Ajwad (Played by Shafeeu, Saeed and Manik respectively) who are single and having a youthful outlook, in spite of being in their forties.[67] Azifa played the role of Taniya, the beguiling lady signed up by her aunt to seduce and take down their rival businessman in the island, Jawad.[68] The film met with both critical and commercial success, emerging as one of the highest grossing Maldivian films of 2017.[69][70]

2018–present: Experiment with different genres

2018 was a dull year for Maldivian film-industry with regards to 2018 Maldivian presidential election, hence only one film of Faisal was released during the year; a suspense thriller film Dhevansoora (2018) written and directed by Yoosuf Shafeeu.[71] The film marks Shafeeu's thirtieth direction and features an ensemble cast of twenty-one actors.[72] Revolving around a murder investigating, Saeed played a police officer and the station head trying to solve the murder mystery.[73] The film received positive reviews from critics and was considered a "norm-breaker" for the Maldivian cinema.[72] Ahmed Hameed Adam reviewing from VNews wrote: "Though Saeed had a small role in terms of screen time, he leaves an impact with the performance".[72]

Saeed's first release of 2019 was the Moomin Fuad-directed psychological horror thriller Nivairoalhi (2019) which marks Niuma Mohamed's last onscreen film.[74] Revolving around a patient suffering from depression, he played a small role in the film.[75] Starring opposite Mohamed, Yoosuf Shafeeu and Ahmed Asim, the film received majorly positive reviews from critics; Aishath Maaha of Dho? favored the performance of the lead actors and mentioned the "neat arrangement" of its screenplay though pointed out its "weak ending" to be unsatisfactory while his performance was noted to be a "one-scene impression".[76] He reprised the role Ahsan in the horror comedy film 40+ (2019), a sequel to 2017 released comedy film Naughty 40, which was well received both critically and commercially.[77]
