The buzz around Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa is only getting louder. After announcing Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh as the new hosts, the makers have now raised the excitement a notch higher by unveiling the first set of contestants of the reality show, sparking a wave of anticipation among fans.

On Monday, Riteish Deshmukh, along with Farah Khan, Ekta Kapoor, Monika Shergill, Vice President Content, Netflix India, attended the launch of the show Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa in Mumbai. The first three contestants were announced at the launch event.

Actor Ram Kapoor was introduced as the show's first contestant at the event. He expressed his excitement about participating in the reality show and shared the reasons that influenced his decision to join.

Opening up about the thought behind his decision, the Bade Achhe Lagte Hain actor mentioned, “There were four universal signs for me to join the show. First, my very close and respected casting agent called me for this show. Secondly, Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh are the reason. Farah, Sajid, and I are childhood friends. Lastly, whenever I have worked with Ekta Kapoor, we have created magic.”

The second contestant of the show is fan-favourite Shivangi Joshi. The actor expressed her excitement about entering the show, saying her participation would come as a surprise to many since no one expects to see her on a reality show like this.

She was also asked how she would handle conflicts in the show. To this, Shivangi said, “Agar yeh main aaj hi aapko bata dungi toh aap show mein kya dekhenge? (If I tell you that right now, then what will you watch on the show?)”

The third contestant to be unveiled at the event was Desi Bling breakout star, Pamela Serena. She is a winner of Ms UAE World 2022 and Ms Universe Dubai 2021. She was last seen in Netflix’s Desi Bling and was known for her fiery remarks.

According to a press note by the makers, Lock Upp has an immersive production design, layered gameplay, emotional pressure points, and constant unpredictability. The series pushes contestants beyond performance into unfiltered reactions.

This season will see 14 well-known personalities as ‘inmates’ inside a controlled, high-pressure jail. Cut off from the outside world, stripped of comforts, and subjected to increasingly challenging tasks, the inmates must navigate shifting alliances and difficult choices where every move can flip the narrative overnight. Over six weeks, inmates will face daily tasks, status hierarchies, charge sheets, punishments, and terminations designed to test resilience and pure survival instincts.

Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa is co-produced by Balaji Telefilms Ltd and Colosceum, with Malaya Pradhan serving as the Executive Producer. When it launched in 2022, the show premiered on ALTBalaji and MX Player and was hosted by Kangana Ranaut. The reality show will stream on Netflix from June 27, every Saturday to Wednesday at 8 PM.
