Clarifying her stand on nepotism and defending Ekta Kapoor, Kangana stated in the clip, “Nepotism was never my problem. The problem was ganging up on outsiders because of nepotism. There is a difference. If you are doing your job quietly, no problem. But to say ‘ye outsider hain, ye yaha nahi hone chahiye because ye humare baap dada ki jagah hai (these are outsiders and shouldn’t be here because this is our forefathers’ place), isn’t it wrong? Ekta has never been a part of a bully gang, that I can assure you.”

‘Lock Up’ will see Kangana turn into a mean host with several inmates locked up. In one of the promos the actress stated, “There are two kinds of people in the world- one who like me and others are those B-grade strugglers who stay in news by bad-mouthing me. These haters filed FIRs against me to drown my voice and applied the nepotism formula. My life has been turned into a 24×7 reality show. But now it’s my turn.”
