The Wankhede Stadium is the home ground of the Mumbai Indians cricket team in both the IPL and the WPL. Red Chillies further said the police officer character in the show — whom Wankhede claims resembles him — is unnamed and portrayed merely as “overzealous”, not malicious or defamatory. Wankhede Stadium is Mumbai’s iconic cricket venue, rich in history and electric in energy. Built in 1974, it has hosted legendary matches including the 2011 World Cup Final. With a 33,000+ seating capacity, it serves as home ground for the Mumbai Indians and the Indian national team. The Wankhede Stadium has stands named after famous Mumbai cricketers Vijay Merchant, Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar. Two gates of the Stadium are also named after Polly Umrigar and Vinoo Mankad.
