The show recently ran into trouble after it was put on hold by the City Civil Court of Hyderabad. After taking note of a video clip of the trailer of the show, the court issued an ad-interim injunction on releasing the upcoming show, saying that it bears resemblance to petitioner Sanober Baig's story and the script of the concept 'The Jail'. However, a day later, the Hyderabad court vacated the stay order and allowed 'Lock Upp', hosted by Kangana, to stream as planned.
It all started when Hyderabad-based businessman Sanober Baig saw the promo of the show and found the resemblance to his story and script of the show called, 'The Jail'.
According to him, he had already shared the concept with Endemol Shine India's Abhishek Rege.
It was written by Shaantanu Ray and Sheershak Anand. Sanober filed a legal complaint of plagiarism and so there was apprehension that the show won`t air on scheduled date and time.
But now viewers will be able to watch the show tonight. The show will have 16 contestants competing for basic amenities. Few confirmed names are comedian Munawar Faruqui, model and actress Poonam Pandey, wrestler Babita Phogat, actress Nisha Rawal and television actor Karanvir Bohra.
