Kamran Pasha is a screenwriter, novelist, and producer known for his work in television, film, and literature. He gained recognition as a writer for NBC's "Kings," a modern retelling of the biblical story of King David, and contributed to Showtime's Golden Globe-nominated series "Sleeper Cell," which explored counterterrorism through the perspective of a Muslim FBI agent. Pasha has also authored two historical fiction novels - "Mother of the Believers," depicting the rise of Islam through the eyes of Prophet Muhammad's wife Aisha, and "Shadow of the Swords," a Crusades-era love story - both published by Simon & Schuster's Atria Books.
With a focus on Middle Eastern history and culture, Pasha has established himself as a prominent Muslim voice in Hollywood. His screenwriting credits include an unproduced historical epic about the Taj Mahal for Warner Brothers and "The Voyage of Ibn Battuta," an upcoming film financed by the Moroccan government. Beyond film and television, he wrote the video game "Blood on the Sand," a sequel to 50 Cent's "Bulletproof." Pasha holds a JD from Cornell Law School, an MBA from Dartmouth, and an MFA from UCLA Film School, blending legal, business, and creative expertise. Before entering entertainment, he worked as a journalist, interviewing global leaders such as Shimon Peres, Alberto Fujimori, and Benazir Bhutto.
