Dhanush’s upcoming film Captain Miller, which is helmed by Arun Matheswaran is perhaps the most anticipated film this year. The film, touted to be a period action flick, is said to revolve around the titular character, who’s a rebel leader, forced to take a stance when things go against him.
As the release date of the film draws closer, the makers of the film are keeping themselves busy with the final promotions of the film. Recently, on January 3rd, they held the film’s pre-release event, which was attended by the entire cast and crew of Captain Miller. During the event, actor Shiva Rajkumar, who plays a prominent role in the film, opened up about working with Dhanush while he was addressing the audience.

He further praised Dhanush’s screen presence, adding that the actor has beautiful screen variations, and tends to improvise a lot on the shot. The Mufti actor also revealed that it is quite challenging to work with Dhanush due to this.
Additionally, Shivanna mentioned that each character in Captain Miller is driven by their personal motives, which brings a layer of emotion to it.
