CHENNAI, India – Dhanush’s highly anticipated Tamil film “Captain Miller,” which was released during the Sankranthi festival, is set to hit screens in Telugu on January 25th to coincide with Republic Day.
Director Arun Matheswaran revealed that the concept for “Captain Miller” had been in his mind for a decade before finally reaching the production stage. In 2018, after finalizing the script, he shared the synopsis with the producer, who was impressed by it.
“Dhanush was immediately drawn to the story and put his heart and soul into portraying the characters. The producers also provided unwavering support, allowing us to create the film on a grand scale,” Matheswaran said.
While the initial impression from the trailer may suggest that “Captain Miller” is an action-packed thriller, the director clarified that action sequences only comprise 40% of the movie. He instead emphasized that the film delves deep into the realm of emotions.
“More than action, the movie will tug at your heartstrings,” Matheswaran said.
Describing the storyline, the director disclosed that “Captain Miller” revolves around the struggles of the oppressed as they fight for their freedom. He believes that the story has a universal appeal and is confident that it will resonate equally with Telugu audiences.
Expressing his gratitude, Matheswaran also revealed his happiness at the support of Asian Cinemas and Suresh Productions in backing the Telugu version of the film.
With its release just around the corner, fans eagerly await “Captain Miller” to experience the emotional journey woven into the story.
