Kangana revealed how Ekta was keen on seeing her for who she is as a person, instead of the actor playing a character on screen.

"Ekta said you play a lot of strong women on screen but you know how strong you are and how strong your personality is. I want to use that instead of giving you a character for you to project and conceal yourself beneath. I want to see you as a person," the 'Queen' actor revealed.

'Lock Upp', which is currently streaming on OTT platforms, has the most controversial celebrities locked up in a jail-like setup with basic amenities.

Meanwhile, on the film front, Kangana will soon be seen in movies including 'Tejas', 'Dhaakad', 'Manikarnika Returns: The Legend Of Didda', 'Emergency', and 'The Incarnation: Sita'.

She is also producing the upcoming dark comedy 'Tiku Weds Sheru' under her production house, Manikarnika Films. (ANI)
