**Kerala Actor Kalabhavan Navas Dies After Experiencing Chest Pain on Set**
**KOCHI, India – August 2, 2025** – Popular Malayalam actor and mimicry artist Kalabhavan Navas passed away yesterday at the age of 51. According to a social media post by fellow actor Vinod Kovoor, Navas experienced chest pain while on the set of his latest film, “Prakampanam,” in Chottanikkara.
Kovoor stated that Navas consulted a doctor over the phone but chose to continue filming, fearing it would disrupt the production schedule. He reportedly intended to seek medical attention after the shoot.
“He may have thought he would go after the shoot, but before that, a comedian with no sense of timing came and snatched his life,” Kovoor wrote, expressing regret that Navas didn’t seek immediate medical care.
Kovoor recalled seeing Navas perform at a recent “Amma” (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists) gathering, where he impressed everyone with his singing and comedy.
Navas’s body was taken to a mortuary in Kalamassery, where Kovoor paid his respects. The actor is survived by his family. His colleagues and friends mourn his unexpected demise. The last rights will be held later today at his residence in Aluva, following a post-mortem examination.
