The film, which stars Dhanush in the lead role, also features a stellar ensemble cast that includes Edward Sonnenblick, Priyanka Mohan, Sundeep Kishan, Vinoth Kishan, Nassar, and Shiva Rajkumar.
The teaser
The two minutes and fifty-four-second trailer offers a peek into Captain Miller’s world. According to the teaser, the movie is set in pre-independence India, where Dhanush’s character is viewed as a criminal, or dacoit, and the British are in charge.
Easa, a local rebel leader battling against his village’s colonization, is portrayed by Dhanush. When he states that his behavior depends on the other person’s, it is a discussion that foreshadows his character. The people in his community are guarding a treasure, but the British intend to plunder.
The movie
In addition to Dhanush’s persona, the trailer teases the supporting cast members. The personas of Vinoth, Sundeep, Priyanka, and Shiva are displayed. The teaser teases just enough details without giving too much away. GV Prakash Kumar wrote the music for Captain Miller, Siddhartha Nuni handled the cinematography, and Nagooran Ramachandran handled the editing. The movie’s script was written in 2018, but Dhanush didn’t agree to the project till 2020. The movie takes place in the 1930s, and Tom Hanks’ 1998 film Saving Private Ryan served as inspiration for the title.
The photo session
Before Captain Miller hit the floors in 2022, a lengthy pre-production phase was completed. Outdoor locations such as Tirunelveli, Tenkasi, and others were used for filming. Rumors that the film’s crew had shot at the Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve without the necessary authorization caused controversy as well. Tenkasi locals filed a petition against the squad for detonating explosives. At last, the filming concluded in November 2023.
