Murder dialogue writer Subodh Chopra passes away due to post-COVID complications

Covid-19 second wave has taken many lives in the industry. From music composer Shravan Rathod, Satish Kaul, Abhilasha Patil, film editor Ajay Sharma, to Bikramjeet Kanwarpa and Rahul Vohra, many celebs have succumbed to Covid-19 or its complications. Now, yet another known name of the industry has breathed his last due to a cardiac arrest which was one of the complications after he was Covid free. Subodh Chopra, the dialogue writer of films like Murder (that starred Emraan Hashmi) and Rog passed away at 11.30 am on Friday (May 14). He was 49.

Subodh’s younger brother Shanky told ETimes that Subodh had recovered from Covid. He said that Subodh had tested negative last week on Saturday, but his condition worsened on Monday (May 10) as his oxygen levels suddenly dropped and he made arrangements for a cylinder at home for his brother.

“He was feeling very exhausted and his blood pressure had risen as well. This morning, his condition deteriorated further, and I admitted him to the Lifeline Hospital in Malad. However, he passed away after a cardiac arrest. These were all complications that came after he got COVID-free,” said Shanky.

Shanky also revealed that Subodh wanted to direct a Hindi film. He said, “He had directed a Malayalam film ‘Vasudha’ and he was extremely talented.”

May Subodh’s soul rest in peace and we offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
