After Nisha Rawal, stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui has been announced as the second confirmed contestant of Kangana Ranaut-hosted controversial reality show 'Lock Upp: Badass Jail Atyaachari Khel'. Backed by Ekta Kapoor, the show will have sixteen controversial celebrity contestants locked up in jail.

Talking about participating in the show, Munawar said in a statement, "Lock Upp is going to be a one-of-its-kind show, as I believe that it has the potential to change the dynamics of the content-viewing experience in the Indian OTT industry. Though it's going to be a tough and challenging journey for me, I am glad that this show also gives me an opportunity to be myself in a real setup. I am glad to be associated with ALTBalaji, MX Player for offering me such a unique reality show."
Last year in November, Faruqui landed in trouble after the Bengaluru Police denied permission to his stand-up comedy show in the city amid protests by Hindu right-wing outfits, who alleged that he had hurt the Hindu sentiments in one of his shows. He also claimed that twelve of his shows were called off in the last two months because of the threats to the venue and audiences.
On the other hand, Nisha had shared her promo and captioned it, "Bahut hua daily soap ka drama, ab shuru hoga meri life mein asli hungama! Watch #LockUpp streaming from 27th February, LIVE free on @altbalaji and @mxplayer."
