Lock Upp 2 Contestants Leaked? Shivangi Joshi, Nakuul Mehta & 8 Others Reportedly In Talks for Netflix

Lock Upp 2 Contestants List: If you’ve been keeping tabs on Lock Upp 2, today’s latest update is going to feel like Christmas came early. The Lock upp 2  contestant lineup buzz has officially kicked into high gear, and the names doing the rounds right now are honestly a mixed bag of “didn’t see that coming” and “of course they’re in talks.” From TV heartthrobs to reality show regulars, the tentative list is shaping up to be a genuinely interesting watch even before the show has begun.

Lock Upp, now rebranded as Lock Upp – Sach Ya Saza, is making its big jump to Netflix after years of speculation, and as the premiere date inches closer, the contestant chatter has only gotten louder. Let’s get into everything we know so far.

What Happened: The Lock Upp 2 Contestants Buzz Explained

Short answer: Several big names from TV, films, and the influencer world are reportedly in talks to join Lock Upp 2, though nothing has been officially confirmed yet.

According to reports, the makers are pulling out all the stops to make sure this season lands bigger than the original. Names like Tony Kakkar, Hansika Motwani, Prateik Babbar, Zaheer Iqbal, RJ Mahavash, Nakuul Mehta, and Shivangi Joshi are said to be in early discussions with the production team.

On the reality TV and influencer side, Rajat Dalal, Aashika Bhatia, and Rowhi Rai have also reportedly been approached. But honestly, the name that’s got me most curious is the MTV Splitsvilla X6 duo, Akanksha Choudhary and Yogesh Rawat. Their season turned into one of the biggest scandals Splitsvilla has seen, and the idea of reuniting them inside a locked house is the kind of plot twist reality TV producers dream about.

That said and this is the important bit, none of this is locked in yet. These are names “approached” or “in talks,” not confirmed contestants, and the list could shuffle quite a bit before the official reveal drops. We also predicted that names like Pranit More and Shilpa Shinde could join the team, read here.

Lock Upp 2 is Coming – Here’s What’s Confirmed

Short answer: Lock Upp Season 2, titled Lock Upp – Sach Ya Saza, premieres on Netflix on June 27, hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh.

While the contestant list is still up in the air, the core details of the show are locked and confirmed. The season will run for six weeks and feature a total of 14 celebrity contestants, with new episodes releasing five days a week, Saturday to Wednesday at 8 PM on Netflix.

The biggest confirmed update, though, is the host lineup. Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh have been roped in as the two “jailers” overseeing this season, a significant shift from the Kangana Ranaut-led format of Season 1 on ALTBalaji and MX Player. Instead of finding one person to match Ranaut’s intensity, the makers have gone with a double-host dynamic, and frankly, the Farah-Riteish combo already sounds like it has the potential to be television gold.

Now, back to the part everyone actually wants to talk about the contestants.

Frankly Speaking: This Lineup Could Be One of Lock Upp’s Strongest Yet

Let me be honest, if even half of these rumoured names actually sign on, Lock Upp 2 is shaping up to be unmissable.

The Akanksha-Yogesh angle is the one I keep coming back to. Splitsvilla fans know exactly how much unresolved tension that pairing carries, and putting them in a locked house with zero escape options sounds like a guaranteed storyline, whether it plays out as drama or full-blown chaos.

Then there’s Shivangi Joshi, TV actors stepping into raw, unscripted reality formats tend to either completely surprise everyone or crumble under the pressure, and there’s rarely a middle ground. Nakuul Mehta joining would be equally significant; he’s got a massive fan base but has largely steered clear of reality formats this intense.

Rajat Dalal’s name doesn’t surprise me at all, the man practically thrives in these formats at this point. But Tony Kakkar in a Lock Upp setting? That’s a combination I genuinely didn’t see coming, and I’m here for it.

My only word of caution: contestant lists like this tend to shuffle a LOT before the actual premiere. I’d treat this as a “watch this space” situation rather than a final reveal.

What to Expect Next

The big question now is when Netflix will officially drop the confirmed contestant list. With the premiere just over two weeks away on June 27, an official reveal should be coming very soon, likely accompanied by a major promotional push from Netflix and Ekta Kapoor’s team.

If names like Shivangi Joshi or Nakuul Mehta do get confirmed, expect their fan bases to go into overdrive almost instantly. Keep an eye on Netflix India’s official channels and social media handles for the first promo featuring Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh as jailers, that’s likely to be our first real glimpse into this season’s format.
