Rb Choudary Dies in Udaipur Car Crash, Leaves 2025 Slate Behind

rb choudary died in a car crash near Udaipur on Tuesday, ending a producing career that began in 1988 under the Super Good Films banner. The Tamil producer was also Jiiva’s father, and his funeral will be held in Chennai soon.

Super Good Films Since 1988

1988 marked the start of Choudary’s run as a producer, and 1990 brought his first Tamil production, Pudhu Vasantham, which also introduced director Vikraman. That film earned a Tamil Nadu State Film Award, and the same year he backed KS Ravikumar’s directorial debut, Puriyada Pudir.

1991 through 2025 show the scale of that output: Cheran Pandiyan, Oor Mariyadhai, Gokulam, Nattamai, Poove Unakkaga, Sundara Purushan, Mr Romeo, Suryavamsam, Thullatha Manamum Thullum, Aanandham, Keerthi Chakra, Jilla, Godfather and Maareesan. For Tamil cinema, that filmography is the point — Choudary was not a peripheral name, but one of the producers who repeatedly financed projects that reached wide audiences across three decades.

Udaipur Crash Details

Tuesday’s crash near Udaipur left the cause of the accident and the condition of the other people involved unresolved in the available account. That leaves the immediate focus on the loss itself and on the family named in the report: Jiiva, Ramesh, Ashok and Mahjabeen.

Archana Kalpathi posted on X: “Shocked to hear that #RBChoudary Sir is no longer with us. The industry has lost a stalwart producer who gave some of the biggest blockbusters. A very good human. RIP Sir. May god give his family strength to cope with this loss. @SuperGoodFilms (sic).”

Chennai Funeral Plans

The practical next step is Choudary’s funeral in Chennai soon, which turns the story from an industry obituary into a family matter centered in the city where his last rites will be held. For Tamil cinema, the cleanest read is that a long-running producer’s absence now sits alongside the work he left behind, from Pudhu Vasantham to Maareesan.
