Prior to his official career debut with Aishath Rishmy-directed romantic drama Bos (2017), Yunaan acted in few office teledramas.

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".

[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.

[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.
