"Nil Battey Sannata" and "Panga" are some of the films that have had the couple as co-workers.

"We have been working for almost 17 years together. Any partnership is built on trust. Egoless discussion and healthy arguments that lead to a solution...ours is the same. We have similar philosophies towards life and work. Our integrity and honesty to our work and people, matter to us the most," Ashwiny told IANS.

"Our approach to work is same but our direction style is different, which makes us unique in our own space. We also give critical comments but let the each decide the way forward. After a point, we never interfere in each other's work unless asked," she added.
