The film “Kanbulo,” shot in HDh. Nolhivaranfaru and HDh. Kulhudhuffushi City, has been announced for release in August this year.
The film, presented by Kid Productions and Saturn Studio, addresses critical social issues surrounding the protection of children and women.
The narrative focuses on the compelling story of abuse victims who are forced to endure mistreatment from those who should be their protectors. The film exposes the hidden reality of how seemingly respectable members of society secretly perpetrate abuse against children and depicts the lasting impact of such trauma on their adult lives and marriages.
The film is produced by Ali Shaniz Mohamed and Hussein Munawwar, known for their successful previous production “Kamana.” The main cast features prominent actors including Ismail Rasheed, Mariyam Azza, Ahmed Nimal, Sheela Najeeb, Ahmed Easa, Wasia Mohamed, and Mariyam Shakeela.

Based on a story by Yashfa Abdul Ghani, “Kanbulo” features a screenplay by Mahdi Ahmed and is directed by Hussein Munawwar. Significantly, the original story won the National Award for Best Long Story in a competition held by the National Centre for Linguistic and Historical Research in 2009.
This marks the fourth collaboration between director Munawwar and screenwriter Mahdi. Their most recent project, “Kamana,” released in 2024, received widespread critical acclaim and audience appreciation.
