Dhanush had a mediocre 2023 with only one release, Vaathi (Sir in Telugu). The film, which was billed as a social drama in Tamil and Telugu, did not perform as predicted. However, the actor will begin 2024 with a highly anticipated film, Captain Miller. The film’s director, Arun Matheshwaran, already has a cult following for his two vengeance action plays, Rocky and Saani Kaayidham. With Captain Miller, he has a larger canvas, and it remains to be seen whether he can make things work in the mainstream as well.
Arun’s films are renowned for their brutality and stunning photography. While the trailer proved that the quality of the camera work will be maintained in Captain Miller, the filmmaker said in an interview with Indianexpress.com that the film would not include the same level of brutality as his previous films.

Arun Matheshwaran stated, “It (Captain Miller) is a mainstream picture. It’s my least violent flick (laughs). For obvious reasons, of course. It is larger than my prior projects, and I am collaborating with a star. And he comes with baggage and a fanbase. Also, I can’t simply build it for his followers; it needs to be successful for the producer as well. So it will be something that appeals to the masses.”
Captain Miller is a historical drama about a British soldier who becomes a vigilante after seeing the brutality of those in authority. In addition to Dhanush, Shivarajkumar, Priyanka Arul Mohan, Aditi Balan, Sundeep Kishan, Edward Sonnenblick, and John Kokken play major parts in the film. GV Prakash wrote the music for the film. The cinematography is done by Siddhartha Nuni, who is now collaborating with Vijay on The Greatest of All Time.
