MeleTOP. In 2015 Nabil became host of

He set up an entertainment production company which has produced television series and a film. In 2018, Nabil wrote his first made-for-television film,
The Hantus, a Malaysian horror comedy film wherein he co-directed with Helmi Yusof, thus marking his directorial debut, which was released on June 15, 2018 under KMN Production. Filming began mostly in
