Sources have stated that Mr Modi was sacked in 2010 as Commissioner of the IPL after he was named in a scandal in the IPL over alleged money laundering and he is presently on a self-imposed exile in UK.
Meanwhile, Richa's character is said to be inspired by Preity Zinta, who co-owns IPL team Kings XI Punjab while Angad's role is loosely modeled on Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Gulshan will play a cricketer with grey shades. The web series is being shot in Mumbai and it might go on air by the end of this year.
