Terminal Theme Deactivates Upon Record

I am currently using Agnoster from oh-my-zsh as my theme. It has a very beautiful UI and as soon as my asciinema rec starts, my terminal reverts to default color scheme and bland text. Not sure why?

Is it the same when you start recording with asciinema rec -c "zsh -l" ?

Side note: On my iMac, it just worked with asciinema rec. It only gives problems on my MacBook Pro.
