Lock Upp plagiarism row: Big relief for Kangana, Ekta as court vacates stay order on show

Mumbai (Maharashtra): A Hyderabad court has vacated a stay order and allowed the reality show Lock Upp, hosted by Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut, to stream as planned. The reality show Lock Upp, hosted by Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is making headlines these days because of its concept and recently it was challenged on allegations of plagiarism and City Civil Court of Hyderabad issued a stay order on its streaming date.

However, much to the relief for the makers of the show, the court has now vacated the order and allowed the show to stream. It all started when Hyderabad-based businessman Sanober Baig saw the promo of the show and found 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.
