Dear Manasi,
 sorry for the late reply.
For sure there is a way to do it: you should look into vmtksurfaceremeshing, 
which is the script that is used in vmtkmeshgenerator internally to remesh the 
surface prior to volume meshing. The options are similar, but the inputs and 
outputs are surfaces (vtkPolyData, eg vtp files).
Let me know (on the list) if you need guidance with this script. 
Sometimes a quick way of improving the quality of triangles is also to smooth 
the surface, using vmtksurfacesmoothing, but your mileage might vary.
Best regards

Luca
