Leading Tamil actor Dhanush will begin filming Captain Miller soon under Rocky and Saani Kaayidham fame Arun Matheswaran's direction and prestigious production banner Sathya Jyothi Films has dropped one casting announcement after another over the last four days. In that light, on Tuesday, September 20, the blockbuster production house announced that actors John Kokken and Moor have been added to the cast of Captain Miller, which is aiming for a grand summer 2023 theatrical release.

John Kokken, who delivered a knockout performance as the antagonist boxer Vembuli in Pa. Ranjith's Sarpatta Parambarai, will be looking to score big in his role in Captain Miller. Likewise, the casting of actor Moor, who is best known for his role in Malayalam superstar Tovino Thomas' action thriller Kala, has been described to be "a tinge of craziness" by director Arun Matheswaran on Twitter, and it raises quite a lot of curiosity about his role in the upcoming film, which is set to be a big action-adventure. Earlier, the makers had announced that Dhanush will be paired opposite youth sensation Priyanka Arul Mohan, while Maanagaram fame Sundeep Kishan and Sillu Karuppatti actress Nivedhithaa Sathish have been cast in crucial roles in Captain Miller.

Being presented by TG Thyagaran and produced by Sendhil Thyagaran and Arjun Thyagaran, the first ever mention of Captain Miller was revealed back in April this year at the Dakshin South India Media & Entertainment Summit. "We are currently working on pre-production for our next magnum opus titled Captain Miller which will be a pan-India release for Mr. Dhanush. The film is directed by Arun Matheswaran. Set in the 1930s, Captain Miller is a big action-adventure," an official quote from a booklet stated the following. Apart from the star-studded cast, Captain Miller includes a strong technical team featuring the likes of chart-buster composer G. V. Prakash Kumar for the music, Shreyaas Krishna and Nagooran for the cinematography and editing, respectively, while Tha. Ramalingam is the art director, followed by Dhilip Subbarayan handling the action choreography, with costume designs being done by Poornima Ramaswamy and Kavya Sriram, and the lyrics penned by Madhan Karky.
