Rest in peace,” Rahman wrote.
Navas was in Chottanikkara for the filming of the movie “Prakampanam.” He had returned to his hotel room on Friday evening, informing the crew that he would check out on Saturday at 8 AM. When he failed to check out as scheduled, hotel staff discovered him deceased in his room.
The 48-year-old actor was the son of renowned drama and film actor Aboobacker. He gained recognition for his role in the film “Mimics Action 500” and went on to play notable roles in numerous movies. He is survived by his wife, actress Rahna. His brother, Niyas Backer, is also an actor.
