Sanober Baig, who is claiming that he has come up with the idea of this jail-themed reality show has asked for a stay order against the makers of Lock Upp.
Baig has claimed that his idea has been plagiarized by Ekta Kapoor. Talking about the case, Baig said, "I had created a concept called jail three years ago, and it got registered in 2018. I had signed Shantanu Ray, he is a writer and director. We had spent almost six months writing the entire script and creating the concept. I had approached Star Plus for it and we were in talks for about 5 to 6 months, but nothing worked out. Then I went to Endemol, and Abhishek Rege and I had several meetings on this topic, and we had signed a contract also for web series. So, during those meetings, I had disclosed this concept and there will be celebrity contestants init. So he said that we will have a joint venture, but then the Covid started, and then all of a sudden last week I saw this promo that he has already made the series taking ALT Balaji as the co-producer I think. They were about to release on 27th February, so then I approached the court and got the stay order against them".
On the other hand, MX Player has revealed the names of the 5 confirmed contestants - Nisha Rawal, Munawar Faruqui, Poonam Pandey, Babita Phogat and Karanvir Bohra.
