Mohamed Yunaan (born 26 May 1991) is a Maldivian former film actor.
Prior to his official career debut with Aishath Rishmy-directed romantic drama Bos (2017), Yunaan acted in few office teledramas. In Bos he portrayed the role of an IT specialized intelligent blackmailer who turns into a depressed man following the downturn of love. [1] Penned and produced by Fathimath Nahula, Yunaan termed the film as his "dream project" since he was raised in "Nahula's melodramatic universe". [2] Nahula's selection to rope in Yunaan as the male lead was met with controversy, although she considered it as the "most firm and best decision" she took for the film. [3] Upon release, the film and his character met with mixed reviews from critics. Aishath Fareeha reviewing from Sun appraised his performance and noted that his "innocent face" is a fortune to deliver the "right emotion". However, Avas in its film review wrote: "Even though this is his debut performance, I would personally rate a zero to his acting ability as he fails to bring forth the required emotion". [4] The film emerged as the highest grossing Maldivian film of 2017. [5]
In 2019, he again collaborated with Rishmy for Ravee Farooq-directed web television series Ehenas which follows the experiences of a long-term domestic and sexually abused male victim and how he faces the societal obstacles of marriage. [6] The series and his performance as a bully received mainly positive reviews from critics. [7] Aishath Maahaa reviewing from Dho? noted the improvement in his performance compared to his previous venture. [8]
In July 2020, Yunaan alongside his wife grabbed national attention with an emotional plea for financial assistance for medical treatment for their baby daughter in front of the presidential residence. [9] [10] Soon after, there were accusations by a fellow actor for the misuse of the financial aid for their personal gain. [9] On 3 October 2020, several reports in the media accused the couple of having "forced sexual relations" with a 15-year-old boy, who reportedly is a member of their family. [9]
