Krishnan Nair (July 25, 1939 - November 16, 1980), better known by his stage name Jayan, was a retired Indian Navy captain who attained considerable popularity as an Malayalee Indian film actor. He is considered as one of the most popular actors of all time in Malayalam cinema.The name "Jayan" was given to him by Jose Prakash, a noted villain actor of yesteryear Malayalam cinema. Jayan started his career by acting in minor roles. His first film was Shapa Moksham (1974). Jayan got his first major break with Thacholi Ambu (1978) in which he acted as a co-hero. What made Jayan a superstar was his negative hero role in Sarapanjaram (1979).
On 16 November 1980, Jayan was killed in an accident on the set of the movie Kolilakkam. The climax scene of the movie was being filmed in Sholavaram, near Chennai, Tamil Nadu. He was 42 then and at the peak of his popularity. Jayan always performed his own stunts, and for this movie he was performing a particularly dangerous stunt that involved him boarding an airborne helicopter from a moving motorbike. The shot was accepted by the director in the first take; altogether three shots were filmed.
According to the film's production executive, Jayan insisted on yet another re-take as he was not satisfied with its perfection. During the re-take, the helicopter lost its balance and crashed along with Jayan, who later succumbed to his injuries.
