He acheived recognition as a screenwriter after the aquisition of his first script Ashen Streets. It was however his second script Brotherhood a gritty and raw take on the decline of a mobster that brought him media attention especially from his native United Kingdom. The British press and tabloids where keen to follow his story as a British Asian who had made an impact in the heart of Hollywood, probably the first since Art Malik.

It was talk of Sylvester Stallone being cast as the lead character directed my Mario Kassar that caught the attention of the press and propelled Khurram Adnan into the media's attention. Colombia pictures staked their own claim in the production, and negotiations stalled till terms where agreed with the producers.

Frustrated with the complexity of the inner workings of the Hollywood machine Khurram returned to the United Kindom where by chance he entered into the high risk world of covert and investigative journalism. Working with the Sunday Mirror under the now best selling author Graham Johnson as his editor Khurram attained much respect from his exposes. Some of the major stories include the Tesco and Three Sisters scandal which led to the collapse of £350 million contract with Tesco and one of its suppliers. The Channel Tunnel and Jarvis Construction was another major headline grabber exposing the illegal labour employed by Jarvis's subcontracters in the construction of the Channel Tunnel international terminal in East London. His journalistic and investigative work continued with The Sunday Mirror, News Of the World, Sunday Express, BBC ( Crooked Britain, Watchdog ) Channel Four (Dispatches).

He continued his direction and production work, directed and producing media campaigns and commercials, which included the English Football Association, The Labour Party, Department for Communitie and Local government.

He continued his TV work with the Brookside team and the BBC. However the London bombings started a new phase in his life. He was approached to work on a high profile investigation into the events leading upto the the attacks in London. His works uncovered facts that the producers did not wish to include int the final edit. Khurram subsequently resigned from the project. Never the less other organisations where keen to utilise his abailities. This opened up the biggest opportunity of his career and his pet project Brothers Apart. A drama serial filmed in Pakistan and the UK looking at the dynamics of British Muslims and the complexities of faith, migration, culture and terrorism.

Khurram is currently filming this landmark production.
