One of the most controversial names reportedly approached for Netflix's Lock Upp is Pranit More. The comedian has recently been making headlines over the 'Rs. 370 ki biryani' controversy after a remark made by an audience member during one of his shows went viral, with many social media users criticising the way the situation was handled.
Netflix's Lock Upp Release Date
Lock Upp: Sach ya Sazaa is set to premiere on Netflix on June 27, 2026. The reality show will stream exclusively on the platform from Saturday to Wednesday at 8 PM. Produced by Balaji Telefilms in collaboration with Netflix, the upcoming season will be fronted by Riteish Deshmukh and Farah Khan, who will serve as the show's "Jailers." Unlike the first season, which was hosted by Kangana Ranaut on ALTBalaji and MX Player, the new edition will feature 14 celebrity contestants, referred to as "inmates," competing inside a high-pressure jail-themed setup filled with tasks, eliminations, alliances and dramatic twists.
