Lock Upp launched in February with Kangana Ranaut as the host, while Karan Kundrra acts as the jailor. The show follows the captive reality format with celebrity contestants being locked under the same roof. Given that it is styled as a jail, inmates also have to fight for basic necessities on a day-to-day basis.
