During the making of Agni Sakshi, screenwriter Ranbir Pushp addressed the close relationship between Nana Patekar and Manisha Koirala. He noted that their strong rapport and collaborative approach to discussing scenes translated effectively onto the screen.
However, Pushp stated that he never felt their connection went further than a profound friendship and professional partnership. Throughout the film’s production, his attention remained strictly on his own writing duties. While subsequent reports and media coverage later pointed to a rumored romance, Pushp confirmed he did not witness any such relationship firsthand.
