In 2000, Shameel played the role of Saleem, the college principal, in Hussain Adil's romance Hiyy Halaaku. The plot combines two love triangles set years apart.

The film was an unofficial remake of Karan Johar's romantic drama film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji in the lead roles.

It was followed by the year's most successful Maldivian film, Ahmed Nimal's horror classic Zalzalaa (2000) where Shameel played the role of Ibrahim, a hardworking father who gets enthralled by a female jinn. The film follows a man who lost his life and endangered his whole family while being lured by a female spirit sent off to complete an unfulfilled prophecy. The same year, he starred opposite Mariyam Haleem in the Easa Shareef-directed romantic horror film 2000 Vana Ufan Dhuvas (2000), in which he portrays the role of a cursed father lying on death bed.

The following year, he starred as the father of an obsessive lover in Aslam Rasheed's romantic thriller film Dheevaanaa which was an unofficial remake of Ram Gopal Varma's romantic thriller Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya (2001) starring Urmila Matondkar, Fardeen Khan and Sonali Kulkarni. The film narrates the story of a woman who falls in love with an already married photographer and sets out to get what she wants, no matter what the consequences may be. It was followed by his drama film Hithi Nimun (2001) featuring opposite Mohamed Shavin and Sheereen Abdul Wahid, which narrates the storyline of a stubborn young man who abandons his girlfriend when he discovers about her pregnancy.

He then stepped into Fathimath Nahula's critically and commercially successful romantic drama television series, Kalaage Haqqugaa (2005) to portray the role of Faiz, a depressive father mourning over his deceased son. He rose to widespread prominence in the television industry with his performance as a businessman and protective father in the Arifa Ibrahim-directed critically acclaimed television series, Vairoalhi Ahves Sirrun (2005) which revolves around two best-friends involved in extra-marital affairs and who fail to practice their duty as husband and wife.

The following year, he again collaborated with the team of Vairoalhi Ahves Sirrun for Arifa Ibrahim's another romantic television drama series, Vaguthu Faaithu Nuvanees (2006) which consists of fifty episodes. The series which follows the vengeance and retribution two best-friends go through when they both love the same person, features Mohamed in a conflicted role a husband hiding the truth of his first marriage.

In 2008, he appeared 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. Featuring an ensemble cast including Yoosuf Shafeeu, Sheela Najeeb, Mohamed Manik, Ahmed Nimal, Fauziyya Hassan, Ravee Farooq, Zeenath Abbas and Ahmed Lais Asim, the film is considered to include the most prominent actors in a Maldivian film.

It was followed by Amjad Ibrahim's suspense thriller film Hafaraaiy in which hec starred alongside Amira Ismail, Mariyam Shakeela, Yoosuf Shafeeu and Fathimath Fareela, which was a critical and commercial failure. Based on a real incident, the film narrates a story of a cannibal woman addicted to eating human flesh, how she victimised the inhabitants with her face covered in a veil. The film received criticism for its "fragile" plot, "unnecessary" characters though its makeup was appreciated. Ahmed Naif from Sun wrote: "neither scientifically nor psychologically, it has been proven in the film how a chicken addict turns to be a cannibal. The film slides from a suspense thriller to a comedy for its inclusion of inconceivable details". He again collaborated with Amjad Ibrahim for his family drama Hithey Dheymee (2011) which received negative reviews from critics and was a box office failure.

Shameel's only release of 2012 was Abdul Faththaah's romantic film Love Story alongside Ali Seezan and Aishath Rishmy. He played the role of an island chief while his performance and film received a negative response from critics. 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".
