Kamal Pasha was the son of iconic director Anwar Kamal Pasha and carried forward his father’s cinematic legacy with notable works like *Nikki Jai Haan*, *Raqasa*, and *Humayun Gujjar*. His decades-long contribution shaped the narratives of many hit films during Pakistan’s golden film era.
In March, the Punjab government extended financial assistance of Rs500,000 for his medical treatment, presented by Punjab Information Secretary Syed Tahir Raza Hamdani on behalf of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.
