The late producer worked in several film industries, mainly in Tamil and Telugu as well as a few films in Malayalam and Hindi. He is the founder of the production company Super Good Films.

Choudhary belonged to a Rajasthani family. Before entering film production he worked in the steel, export and jewelery industries. He first started his career as a producer in the Malayalam film industry and produced a few films under the “Super” banner.

In 1989, he entered the Tamil film industry and produced films on the Super banner in partnership with R. Mohan, who had produced Good Night Mosquito Mat. When they decided to part ways, Chaudhary borrowed “Good” from “Good Night” and modified it into Super Good Films.

Chaudhary was married to a Tamil woman, Mahajabeen. His four sons are alive. His son Suresh makes films for his home production, Super Good Films, while Jeevan is an entrepreneur who runs a steel company. His third son, Jeetan Ramesh, is an actor and producer, and his youngest son, Jiiva, is also an actor.

More details regarding the last rites of the late producer are awaited. His family has not yet issued any statement.
