Nayana made her mark as an assistant director under Malayalam director Lenin Rajendran's ‘Makaramanju’ (2010). Later she went on to direct her independent project, Crossroad in 2017. Nayana had worked as an associate of noted directors Dr Biju, Jeethu Joseph, and Kamal also. Reportedly, she was depressed over her mentor Lenin's death last month.

WCC expresses condolences

The Women In Cinema Collective has expressed condolences over the director's death and said that her death is a kind of sacrifice made by a talented person. The film industry is a male-dominated areana where it is not even possible for a woman to enter. To survive here with out making compromises is like a struggle for life in a battlefield, added the WCC.
