The makers of Arun Matheswaran's upcoming film, 'Captain Miller', have dropped a power-packed trailer that promises an action-packed journey through the tumultuous era of pre-independent India. Slated for release on January 12, the film stars the versatile Dhanush in the titular role, supported by a stellar cast including Priyanka Mohan, Shiva Rajkumar, Sundeep Kishan, Vinoth Kishan, Nassar, and Edward Sonnenblick.

The 2-minute-54-second trailer provides a sneak peek into the world of Captain Miller, set against the backdrop of British colonial rule. Dhanush portrays the character of Easa, a local rebel leader branded as a criminal, or a dacoit, fighting fervently against the oppressive British regime. Easa's complex personality is hinted at when he declares that his behaviour is contingent on the actions of others, adding an element of unpredictability to his character.

The central plot revolves around a hidden treasure in Easa's village, fiercely guarded by the locals but coveted by the British. The tension escalates as Captain Miller unfolds, promising a lot of drama filled with suspense and action.

The trailer also offers glimpses of the supporting cast, including characters played by Shiva, Priyanka, Sundeep, and Vinoth, adding depth to the narrative without revealing too much. The film's music, composed by GV Prakash Kumar, coupled with the cinematography by Siddhartha Nuni and editing by Nagooran Ramachandran, ensures a visually and aurally captivating experience for the audience.

The genesis of Captain Miller dates back to 2018 when the script was penned, but it wasn't until 2020 that Dhanush greenlit the project. Set in the 1930s, the title pays homage to Tom Hanks' iconic film 'Saving Private Ryan' (1998), setting the stage for a historical drama with a contemporary twist.

The film's journey from script to screen was marked by extensive pre-production, with shooting commencing in 2022 across picturesque locations such as Tirunelveli and Tenkasi. However, the production faced controversy when rumours circulated that they had shot at the Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve without adequate permissions, leading to a petition from concerned residents of Tenkasi. Despite these challenges, filming concluded in November 2023.
