Hi Manasi,
 did you try specifying 

vmtksurfaceremeshing -elemensizemode edgelength 

when you were trying to specify -edgelength as an option? The rationale is 
specifying both the elementsizemode (area, edgelength, areaarray or 
edgelengtharray) and then the pertinent quantity (area, edgelength, areaarray 
and areafactor, or edgelengtharray and edgelengthfactor).

Hope this clarifies it.

Best regards

Luca
