In
what
could
perhaps
be
the
first
time
in
the
history
of
Hindi
cinema,
the
protagonist
of
a
film
(which
even
borrows
its
title
from
her
name),
would
not
be
seen
in
the
film.
To
make
matters
more
interesting,
all
of
this
happens
when
she
has
actually
shot
for
the
film
in
a
major
way,
only
to
see
a
cool
exit
from
the
final
cut
of
the
film.
The
actor
in
question?
Aarti
Chabria
.
The
film?
Anamika
-
The
Unfold
Story.
Over
to
film's
director
Anath
Mahadevan
to
give
is
spill
the
beans
on
the
'untold
story'!
'This
is
purely
an
editorial
decision
which
has
made
us
do
away
with
Aarti's
part
completely
from
the
final
cut
of
'Anamika'',
informs
Ananth
Mahadevan
who
had
'Victoria
No.
203'
and
'Aggar'
releasing
in
2007,
'In
the
film,
'Anamika'
is
the
figment
of
Minissha
Lamba's
mind,
who
plays
Dino
Morea's
wife.
While
Aarti
and
Dino
are
married
earlier,
after
her
death
Dino
doesn't
want
anything
around
him
which
would
remind
him
of
his
wife.'
Disclosing
more
about
the
film's
plot,
Mahadevan
adds,
'Due
to
this
reason,
he
lets
go
of
everything,
whether
it
is
her
belongings
or
photographs.
This
leaves
Minissha
clueless
about
how
Anamika
would
have
looked
like.
Though
we
did
shoot
major
portions
with
Aarti
in
the
beginning,
during
editorial
sitting
it
seemed
to
make
sense
if
we
don't
project
on
screen
what
she
looked
like.
It
only
added
on
to
the
confusion
of
Minissha's
character
since
just
like
audience,
even
she
would
not
be
in
the
know-how
of
'Anamika'
and
could
only
speculate
about
her.'
So
is
it
a
complete
exit
for
Aarti?
Says
Mahadevan
in
a
regretful
tone,
'Unfortunately
yes,
even
though
she
did
a
good
job
in
the
film.
She
does
appear
here
and
there
but
you
have
to
catch
her
since
she
is
visible
only
in
flashes.
However,
the
decision
had
to
be
taken
since
the
character
of
'Anamika'
only
gains
due
to
this
and
becomes
bigger.
For
something
which
comes
out
of
imagination,
it
would
not
have
made
sense
to
show
it
in
flesh
and
blood.'
For
an
actor
who
has
worked
hard
on
a
film,
it
may
be
quite
a
tough
call
to
follow
the
director's
vision.
'There
is
nothing
controversial
here
and
I
am
sure
Aarti
will
understand
the
situation',
says
a
hopeful
Ananth.
An
adaptation
of
Rebecca,
Anamika
-
The
Untold
Story,

Lal
Sharma,

Koena
Mitra
and
Gulshan
Grover
apart
from
Dino,
Minissha
and
a
non-existant
Aarti.
With
music

Malik,
