Mugdha Godse happy with Jail

From being a pretty young woman who was one of the three leads in Fashion, Mugdha Godse has now bagged a solo heroine lead in the film Jail. Also, from a gay husband (Sameer Soni) as a partner, she now has a straight guy (Neil Nitin Mukesh) playing her on screen boyfriend.
''I guess I can finally say that I have graduated,'' quips Mugdha with that characteristic laugh of hers, ''From being together with just a friend to a boyfriend is a good enough step for a young woman like me, isn't it? But yes, jokes apart, I am extremely happy that with Jail, I get to play a bona fide leading lady.''
Madhur Bhandarkar has repeated her from a woman oriented Fashion to Jail - a film that tells the tale of prison life. ''I am happy that he trusts me to play two diametrically different roles. It would also be nice to work with Neil. Youngsters have to keep making an impression in Bollywood and both of us are mighty kicked since we are just starting off.''
Things seem to be going in a positive direction for Mugdha though. 2009 has been great with the announcement of Jail and there are more on the anvil too. Question her about the other projects in the pipeline and she chooses her words carefully, ''Really, I don't want to make any noise before I sign on the dotted line. I had a hint for Jail as well but preferred to talk about it only after everything was sealed and locked.''
She has been high on the popularity charts though as the find of 2008. ''I have been meeting people daily before and after the release of Fashion but what's the point of spraying out pointers to friends and media till something concrete haven't happened. Sorry, but that's not my style of headline grabbing tactics.''

Mugdha Godse in Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Jail’

It is an honour for an actress to be repeated by Madhur Bhandarkar in his films and after Konkona Sen Sharma, Mugdha Godse has made it to the elite list after being signed on to play the main female lead in ‘Jail’. Again, it could be mentioned here that Mugdha has a three-film deal with Percept Picture Company and since this is a co-production of Percept Picture Company and Bhandarkar Entertainment, this would start her deal with the production house. The film’s shoot will start in February.
Madhur Bhandarkar confirmed the news saying, “Yes, Mugdha Godse has been signed for Jail. She really impressed me in Fashion and it was only right that I bring her in as a female lead in my next film. She is paired opposite Neil Nitin Mukesh.”
Mugdha is just too happy to be a part of the project and says, “I am in an even better position now with Jail since from ‘one of the leads’ in Fashion, I would now be playing a ’sole lead’. Everyone wants to see such progression and I am glad this is happening in quick time. Madhur sir has seldom repeated his heroines due to which I am even more excited that he has chosen to rope me in for the movie. It just shows that if you do hard work and demonstrate good enough potential, you would be noticed.”
Talking about Mugdha’s role in the film, Madhur says, “She would be having a semi-glam look in the film. That’s all I can say for now because anything more would only end up revealing the plot. At the moment, it would just suffice to say that Mugdha is not there in the film just for glamour value but she is also critical to the film’s plot.”
