The producer, known for backing films across Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi cinema under the banner Super Good Films, was 76 at the time of his death. Speaking about his long association with the producer, Rajinikanth revealed that Choudary had recently approached him to star in the landmark 100th production of his banner. Unfortunately, that dream could not be fulfilled while Choudary was still alive.
Police said that Choudary was returning with his nephew after attending a relative's wedding in Lilamba village when cattle reportedly strayed onto the road, causing the vehicle to go out of control and crash into a roadside wall. The impact of the collision was severe, and Choudary died on the spot. The driver is receiving treatment in a hospital in Jodhpur.
