Mumbai, Jan 24 (IANS) Mugdha Godse, who made her debut in Madhur Bhandarkar's "Fashion", describes her "Jail" co-star Neil Nitin Mukesh as "very fair" and says they will light up the screen with their contrasting skin complexions.

"I think we'll light up the screen with our contrasting skin complexion," Mugdha told IANS.

"Johnny Gaddar" boy Neil returned the compliment and said: "Mugdha is extremely talented, drop-dead gorgeous and dusky."

Neil and Mugdha are playing important roles in "Jail", which will be directed by Bhandarkar. According to a source, after playing the highly unconventional model who marries a gay fashion designer in "Fashion", Mugdha is quite the conventional leading lady in "Jail" with songs and dances.

And though the plot's focus is on Neil, Mugdha too has been given a meaty role.

"I'm looking forward to doing naach-gana after doing the unconventional stuff in 'Fashion'. In fact, all the offers coming to me now are of the same variety, which is surprising considering I did none of that in my first film," Mugdha said.

Has she seen Neil's film? "Oh yes. I saw 'Johnny Gaddar'. He is very talented. Very....fair!"

Though Mugdha is reluctant to talk about it until the Percept Picture Company makes a formal announcement, it's reliably learnt that the production house has signed her for another film after "Jail".
