Film
Ajmal Ameer started his career as a model, from where he got entry into the film industry. His first film is February 14 (2005) where he played a relatively insignificant role named Vicky. In his next film, Pranayakalam (2007), he played a young man named Renjith, romantically involved with the character played by actor Vimala Raman.
He next appeared in the Tamil film Anjathe (2008) directed by Mysskin. His character, Kripakaran, won him Best Supporting Role at the 56th Filmfare Awards and many other accolades.
The same year, Ajmal appeared as Mohanlal‘s rebellious younger brother in the Malayalam film Madampi (2008). His character, Ramakrishna Pillai, was well-received by the audience.
