Vivek Oberoi’s character in his debut Web series is reportedly inspired by former Indian Premiere League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi. \u2013 @siliconeer #siliconeer #VivekOberoi #LalitModi #IPL #IndianPremierLeague #RichaChadda #AngadBedi #GulshanDevaiah #FarhanAkhtar #KaranAnshuman #RiteshSidhwani #Bollywood #PowerPlay #Cricket #PreityZinta #KingsXIPunjab #MSDhoni<\/p>\n

“Bangistan” director Karan Anshuman’s 12-part Web series, titled “Power Play” is based on cricket tournament Indian Premiere League and the controversy surrounding it in the recent years.<\/p>\n

Starring Vivek, Richa Chadda, Angad Bedi, Gulshan Devaiah, the Web series is produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment.<\/p>\n

According to sources close to 40-year-old Vivek, his character is inspired by the former tainted cricket administrator. No official confirmation regarding it has come from the makers yet.<\/p>\n

Modi was sacked in 2010 as Commissioner of the IPL after his name cropped up in a scandal in the IPL over alleged money laundering. He is currently on a self-imposed exile in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Apparently, Richa’s character is said to be inspired by Preity Zinta, who co-owns IPL franchise, Kings XI Punjab, while Angad’s role is loosely modeled on limited over captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.<\/p>\n

Gulshan will play a cricketer with grey shades.<\/p>\n

The Web series is being shot in Mumbai and it might go on air by the end of this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
