He went on to pursue his Bachelor's from SD College, Alleppey and Masters in philosophy from University of Miami in the United States.

Acting career

Debut, comeback and breakthrough (2002–2012)

Fahadh made his film debut with his father's Kaiyethum Doorath (2002) under the stage name of Shaanu. The film was a failure at the box office. Regarding his performance, a critic wrote that "Shaanu oozes charm and suits the character of Sachin but he has to work hard on his dancing". Fahadh later defended his father, stating "don't blame my father for my failure because it was my mistake and I came into acting without any preparation of my own". After his debut, he moved to the United States for five years, where he pursued his studies, before returning in 2009 to act in the film Kerala Cafe (2009), conceived by director Ranjith. At Ranjith's behest, director Uday Ananthan cast Fahad in his Mrityunjayam, one of the 10 shorts in the film. He played the role of a journalist in the Mrityunjayam, a ghost film set on a spooky old 'Mana'. He was chosen to co-star in B. Unnikrishnan's Pramani.

He appeared in Sameer Thahir's directorial debut Chaappa Kurishu (2011), a thriller in which he played the head of a construction business. "Arjun – my character in Chappa Kurishu is not a role that an actor gets often. I am very lucky and very fortunate," Fahad said. He shot a long kissing scene with his co-star Remya Nambeesan in the film – supposedly the first-ever in Malayalam cinema – which upon release was termed controversial. In Fahadh's next film, Akam (2011), a contemporary adaptation of Malayattoor Ramakrishnan's psycho-thriller novel Yakshi, he played Srinivas, a young architect who starts suspecting that his beautiful wife is a yakshi. "Playing Srinivas was like re-inventing myself. We had a workshop before shooting began and I had ample opportunity to explore the nuances of the character. In the process of re-inventing Srinivas, I reinvented myself," said Fahadh. The film premiered at the Dubai International Film Festival. He won the Kerala State Film Award for Second Best Actor in 2012 for his performance in Chappa Kurishu and Akam.

In 2012, he played a negative character in 22 Female Kottayam, a rape and revenge film, which was critically acclaimed. In his next film, Lal Jose's Diamond Necklace (2012), he played the role of an oncologist working in Dubai and the film centred on the doctor's relationship with three different women. Both the films 22 Female Kottayam and Diamond Necklace were a commercial and critical success and ran over 100 days in theatres. In June 2012, a case was registered against Fahadh by the Kochi Town Central Police for violation of the rule against public display of images of smoking. A poster of Diamond Necklace that showed him smoking a cigarette had been on display before the Kavitha Theatre in Kochi since the film was released. In his next film, Lijin Jose's Friday (2012) he played an auto rickshaw driver. The same year, he appeared in The Day of Judgement, one of the three featurettes from the portmanteau film D Company.

His performance in it is also considered one of his career best by some critics and fans.
