Ektaa Kapoor reveals why Kangana Ranaut is not returning for Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa Season 2, citing a complete format change of the show.
The upcoming reality series Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa is set for a major reboot with a completely new format and hosting lineup. Producer Ektaa Kapoor has now addressed the much-discussed change, explaining why actor-politician Kangana Ranaut will not be returning as the host for the second season.
Format overhaul behind Kangana Ranaut’s exit from Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa
At the launch event of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa in Mumbai, Ektaa Kapoor revealed that the show has been completely restructured. According to her, the creative vision and overall format have been redesigned, making it a fresh version rather than a continuation of the previous season.
She explained that the original jailer-host concept has been removed entirely in Lock Upp, which is why previous elements, including the former host, were not carried forward. The goal was to give the show a completely new identity and presentation style.

New hosts for Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa
The revamped season of Lock Upp will now be hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, replacing the earlier format entirely.
Ektaa Kapoor emphasized that this change is part of a larger creative shift designed to bring a fresh tone and energy to Lock Upp. The new hosts are expected to appeal to a wider audience and align with the show’s global positioning.
Why Kangana Ranaut is no longer part of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa
Clarifying the decision, Ektaa Kapoor said that Kangana Ranaut’s exit from Lock Upp is not due to any controversy but purely because of the format change. Since the jailer-judge concept no longer exists, retaining the previous host did not fit into the new structure.
She also mentioned that Kangana would likely understand the creative decision behind Lock Upp, as the transformation was necessary for the show’s evolution.
