Kochi: Main Malayalam actor Manoj Okay. Jayan's father, acclaimed Carnatic musician KG Jayan (89), died right here on Tuesday attributable to age-related illnesses.
The veteran musician was identified for his compositions within the Bhakti style and his musical collaborations along with his twin brother KG Vijayan, which started within the late sixties.
After Vijayan's sudden demise within the eighties, Jayan went right into a shell, earlier than returning to the music trade to churn out extra devotional songs.
His works devoted to Lord Ayyappa and the creation of the well-known Sri Krishna temple at Guruvayur made him an icon in his subject.
He was awarded the Padma Shri in 2019.
Jayan's final rites will likely be carried out right here on Wednesday.
