Chennai, July 2 - Actor Dhanush has collaborated with director Arun Matheswaran ("Saani Kaayidham", "Rocky") for a Pan India movie, Captain Miller. The period action-adventure movie will be produced by Sendhil Thyagarajan and Arjun Thyagarajan under the banner of Sathya Jyothi Films.

"Captain Miller" will be set in the Madras Presidency of the 1930s and 40s. Director Arun Matheswaran told the Times of India that he had written this film way back in 2018 and had also narrated it to Dhanush, however, it couldn't take place at that time. Later in 2019, the project began to take shape again, says Arun.



Arun's "Rocky" and "Saani Kaayidham" were intense and dark which catered the adult audiences. The director has confirmed that the upcoming movie will be different, intended for a mainstream audience. "This one will be a UA film as there is going to be a lot of action. In fact, the second half will have war sequences", Arun added.

Dhanush will be sporting three different looks in the movie and the character will also have two more names, confirmed by the director himself. "The story unfolds over 15 years of this character's life, so I knew that he'd capture the different timelines of a person's life very well. There's action and a range of emotions, and I felt that he'd pull it off the best", Matheswaran said about roping Dhanush in the movie.

The makers have roped in celebrated artists for the movie. Shreyas Krishna ("Rocky", "Jagame Thandhiram") will be handling the cinematography while Nagooran is the editor. "Sarpatta Parambarai" fame Tha Ramalingam has been roped in as the art director while Poornima Ramaswamy, who won the National Award for her work in "Paradesi", is the costume designer of the film. GV Prakash Kumar will be composing the music.



The movie will be shot in real locations across the country as the shooting will commence soon. It will be shot in the Tamil language and later will be dubbed in other languages, including Hindi, and Telugu.
