It's official: Priyanka Mohan comes on board for Arun Matheswaran's Dhanush-starrer Captain Miller

The other day, team Captain Miller had announced that Sundeep Kishan has been roped in to play a crucial role in the action flick which will have Arun Matheswaran at the helm. Sathya Jyothi Films, which is bankrolling the movie, has now made it official that Priyanka Mohan will play the female lead in it.

Though there was news of the Doctor actor being part of the movie ever since the project was announced, the team never confirmed it. The actress has taken to her Twitter page to express excitement on coming on board.

She tweeted, "Elated to be part of this huge project and happy to be paired opposite @dhanushkraja sir , thanks to @ArunMatheswaran sir and @SathyaJyothi films .. looking forward for the shoot to start (sic)." This is the first time she will be acting along with Dhanush.

GV Prakash has been roped in to compose music for the film which is set in the time period between 1930 to 1940. Dhanush will be sporting three looks in the project which brings him together with GV and Sathya Jyothi Films for the second time this year. The trio came together for Maaran which dropped directly on Disney+ Hotstar this year.

A motion poster of Captain Miller was released by makers a few months ago when the project was officially announced. The shooting of the movie is expected to go on floors in October. Touted as an adventure flick, the film is slated for a theatrical release during summer 2023.

Dhanush will have two releases before Captain Miller hits the screens; Selvaraghavan's Naane Varuvean and Venky Atluri's Vaathi. The former is arriving on September 29 while the latter will be released on December 9.
