Claiming that he was left surprised after watching Maidaan trailer, Anil said that the makers of Ajay Devgn starrer film have twisted his plot and are releasing it under their name. He said, "When I looked at the teaser and their statements, I got to know that it was my story. They have twisted the main story itself and made this movie.
