‘Twinkle Khanna could not carry Mela on her shoulders, it needed Karisma Kapoor,’ says Suneel Darshan, reveals Aamir Khan added brother’s character in the film | Hindi Movie News

‘Mela’ which starred Aamir Khan, Twinkle Khanna and Faisal Khan was not only a box office dud but the film is still made fun of, over the years. Infact, Twinkle herself has joked about the fact that she wants to forget the film. In a recent interview, producer Suneel Darshan who had also written the script of the film has reflected on what went wrong with the film. ‘Mela’ also led to Suneel’s fallout with his brother Dharmesh Darshan.He said durin a chat with Vickey Lalwani, “The original story of Mela was written be me. The title was mine. They went ahead and made the movie. They cast Twinkle Khanna in the movie, which was a miscasting. The movie needed a Karisma Kapoor, and unfortunately, she was not cast in the film. You needed a girl who could carry the movie on her shoulders. I felt that she was not right for the movie.”Suneel explained that the original story he wrote was altered, and Aamir had to take permission from him. The biggest modification, according to Suneel, was the addition of the character played by Faisal, who wasn’t in the original version of the script written by him.. “He added the brother’s character. Otherwise, everything else was mine.” Later on, Aamir realised he needed the proper permissions and reached out to Suneel. “He got through to me, and I had no choice but to agree.”Meanwhile, Twinkle who is known a wellknown writer and quite good at it, had admitted that she was never made for acting. She had said at an event, “I have not given any hit film. Whatever films I have done should be banned and (no one should watch) it. Most of the time, I pretend I have Alzheimer’s and I don’t remember my film career and it makes me happy that ways.”Talking about his fallout with brother Dharmesh, Suneel said, “Some things don’t work out. People have their own thinking, and approach, and attitude. It’s best to accept and move on, instead of… My parents were always hopeful that the brothers would be together, but it was not destined to happen.”
