Dhanush's 'Captain Miller' has already created a lot of buzz among the audience. On Dhanush's 40th birthday today (Friday), July 28, the makers unveiled the teaser for Captain Miller just as the clock struck 12 am. The period film is written and directed by Arun Matheswaran. It is a big-budget Tamil action entertainer and marks the first collaboration of the National award-winning actor and the 'Rocky' director.
