OTT platform Netflix has unveiled the first promo of its upcoming reality show Lock Upp: Sach ya Sazaa on Wednesday, featuring filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan and actor Riteish Deshmukh in a mysterious prison setting. The duo is seen navigating the jail cells, intensifying speculation about what awaits inside Lock Upp. While contestant and format details are under wraps, this promo has piqued curiosity.
The teaser opens with Farah and Riteish being introduced as Prisoner No. 06 and Prisoner No. 27, respectively. The two are seen inside separate jail cells before coming face-to-face. While the promo begins on an intense note with both stars exchanging serious glances, it ends with playful smirks and a 'To Be Continued' message.
Sharing the teaser on social media, Netflix captioned the post, "Do khaas mehmaan. Ek Lock Upp. Watch Lock Upp - Sach Ya Saza from 27 June, Saturday to Wednesday at 8 PM, only on Netflix."
While the makers have not revealed details about the show's format or contestants, it is still unclear if Farah and Riteish will play key roles in the reality series or if they are only part of the promo. The show is scheduled to premiere on June 27.
Talking about Farah and Riteish, they share a long-standing association within the film industry. Riteish is known to be particularly close to filmmaker Sajid Khan, Farah's brother, and has worked in many of his films, including Heyy Babyy, Housefull, Housefull 2, and Humshakals. To note, Riteish is also known for hosting Marathi Bigg Boss.
The upcoming season arrives with considerable expectations following the success of Lock Upp's inaugural edition in 2022. The show is set to drop on June 27. The host for the show and the contestants will be revealed later. It has been made by Ektaa Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms in association with Netflix and is returning to the fore after four years.
The first season of the show was hosted by Kangana Ranaut and saw Munawar Faruqui emerging as the winner, while participants such as Payal Rohatgi, Anjali Arora, Poonam Pandey, and Shivam Sharma frequently made headlines during the show's run. The reality show went on to become one of the most talked-about digital properties of the year with its prison-themed format.
