Ekta Kapoor's show pitted 20 participants against each other in a prison-like setting. Although Ekta had immediately presented distinguishing elements between the two shows, it was created as a streaming alternative to the popular Bigg Boss. She previously stated in an interview that she wanted to de-clutter the reality show arena, and who better to host than Kangana Ranaut, who has already de-cluttered Bollywood.
Several participants have been evicted from the show throughout the last few weeks for a variety of reasons. Saisha Shinde, Poonam Pandey, Kaaranvir Bohra, Ali Merchant, Zeeshan Khan, Mandana Karimi, Nisha Rawal, Sara Khan, Vinit Kakar, Babita Phogat, Swami Chakrapani, Tehseen Poonawalla, Siddhartha Sharma, and Chetan Hansraj are among those who have participated. The prize money is expected to range from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 25 lakh. ALTBalaji and MXPlayer will broadcast the finale.
