IT was in 1992 that Navas joined Kalabhavan as a member of the 'ganamela' troupe. For the past three decades, he remained an active member of Kalabhavan, even when he was busy with films. He contributed to the growth of the troupe, and the troupe contributed to his career.

It was senior artist K S Prasad who introduced him to the troupe. "In 1992, I saw him performing in a show near my place. I liked his performance and asked him to join the troupe. I also introduced him to our founder Fr Abel. After he joined, he was always an integral part of the Ganamela group. Later, he joined the Mimix Parade group too," recalled Prasad, an active member of Kalabhavan.
