Superstar Rajinikanth starrer movie Kabali producer KP Chowdary was found dead after allegedly committing suicide. According to reports, the producer had been suffering from financial stress, which led to the drastic measure.

The producer, also known as Sunkara Krishna Prasad Chowdary, had been staying in a rented place in North Goa, where he was found dead. The police have begun their investigation into the matter.

As per a report by IANS, KP Chowdary was found hanging at the rented residence in Goa. According to several reports, the producer had been dealing with multiple life problems, especially after being arrested in a drug case back in 2023.

The high-profile drug case involved several individuals from the Telugu and Tamil cinema industries, who were booked by the police. Apparently, the producer suffered significant financial setbacks even after entering the film business, which allegedly led him to become involved in the drug trade.

The late producer, who hailed from the Khammam district in Telangana, had previously distributed several movies in Telugu and was one of the producers of Rajinikanth's starrer movie Kabali.

The film, directed by Pa. Ranjith, was an action drama featuring the tale of an aging gangster who returns from prison and sets out to exact revenge against a rival. While focusing on his mission for vengeance, Kabali also searches for his wife and daughter, who are both presumed to be dead.

With Rajinikanth in the lead role, the movie also featured an ensemble cast, including Winston Chao, Radhika Apte, Sai Dhanshika, Kishore, Dinesh Ravi, Kalaiyarasan, John Vijay, Rosyam Nor, Nassar, and many more in key roles.

Furthermore, KP Chowdary had also distributed films like Gabbar Singh, Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, and others.
