Actor Shanavas, son of Malayalam cinema's all-time greatest superstar Prem Nazir, passes away
Malayalam actor Shanavas, the son of one of Indian cinema's earliest and most popular superstars, Prem Nazir, has passed away at the age of 71. He had been undergoing treatment for kidney and heart-related ailments for many years. Shanavas breathed his last at a private hospital in the state capital of Thiruvananthapuram, late on Monday evening. Born in Thiruvananthapuram as the son of Prem Nazir and his wife Habeeba Beevi, Shanavas obtained a master's degree in English literature from The New College, Chennai, before venturing into cinema. Subsequently, he made his debut in filmmaker Balachandra Menon's Prema Geethangal (1981). Although this was Nazir's final decade in cinema, after having reigned over the industry for 30 years, he was highly active at the time Shanavas made his debut. Despite the emergence of many new talents in Malayalam cinema during this period, Nazir's position remained unshaken in the hearts of film lovers, which indirectly helped Shanavas gain attention. In the subsequent years, Shanavas worked in movies headlined by legends such as his father Prem Nazir, 'Hitmaker' Sasikumar, MG Soman, Sreekumaran Thampi, Ambareesh, Srividya, Sukumaran, Madhu, Silk Smitha, Joshiy and T Damodaran.
