The following year, he featured in a small role in Ali Shifau's psychological romantic thriller Zaharu (2011) alongside Ali Seezan, Niuma Mohamed and Sheela Najeeb.[5] The film centers on a married man who has a weekend affair with a woman who refuses to allow it to end and becomes obsessed with him.[5] The film is inspired from Adrian Lyne-directed American psychological erotic thriller film Fatal Attraction (1987).[5] Upon release the film received mixed response from critics and was declared a "flop" at box office.[3] It was followed Abdul Fatthah's romantic horror film 14 Vileyrey, alongside Ali Seezan, Aishath Rishmy with Mariyam Nisha. Written by Ibrahim Waheed, the project faced controversy when the team of Kuhveriakee Kaakuhey? accuses Fatthah for "purloining the plot" of the latter.[6] The film received mixed to positive reviews from critics and did good business at box office and was declared a "Hit".[7][8] A "forgettable performance" of Manik was released with Hamid Ali's romantic family drama Laelaa alongside Amira Ismail and Yoosuf Shafeeu which was a critical and box office failure.[9]
