MUMBAI: Lock Upp, Kangana Ranaut's reality show, produced by Ekta Kapoor, was announced on 3rd February. It was announced by the Czarina of Indian television at JW Marriot Hotel in Mumbai. The reality show will be a first-of-its-kind concept, unlike anything witnessed before not only on Indian television or Indian OTT platforms, but also in the West. The producer went on to elaborate how the show is completely homebred.
Ekta Kapoor revealed that it'll only be celebrities who'll be seen as contestants on the reality show. It will involve sixteen contestants, all of whom will be locked up in jail cells, and though it's a captive format, it's unlike anything ever seen on Indian television or streaming services as they're confident that a reality show of this nature hasn't been showcased before.
A source from the industry had earlier said that Poonam Pandey, known for courting controversies and leaving little to the imagination, along with spiritual leader Om Swami have apparently been approached to come on board as contestants. Other names like Rohman Shawl and Shehnaaz Gill are doing the rounds. Now, the next contestant supposedly approached is author Chetan Bhagat.
That is quite an interesting mix of participants, making the show a must watch.
