When Chaudhary was defrauded by his business partners he took an opportunity to move to Mumbai in order pursue a new career in acting.

Drawing on experiences from his college days, he worked on his script which focused on the practice of ragging, the physical and mental abuse of students in educational institutions.

After the film in which he was supposed to appear fell through, Chaudhary took his script to director Kashyap who became his mentor.

[2] Kashyap wrote a new screenplay based on Chaudhary's original script for what would eventually become the film Gulaal.

[3] In addition to his work on Gulaal, Chaudhary also assisted on the set of Black Friday while playing a primary character and wrote the short story on which No Smoking is based.
