Navya Nair who had announced her wedding to Mumbai-based Santhosh Menon hasn’t yet made up her mind about her career after marriage.

Now, she wants to complete all her pending projects before tying the knot in January 2010.

Anyway she is now fulfilling one of her long cherished dreams of playing Mammootty’s wife in a film.

Navya is playing wife to Mammootty in Drona directed by Shaji Kailas where he plays Pattazhi Madhavan Namboodiri, a college principal and an oracle.
