Captain Miller marks the first collaboration of director Arun Matheswaran and actor Dhanush. Talking about working with Dhanush, Arun said, "He is extremely sharp. I am not a popular director, but he wanted to work with me because he trusted the script. He believed the story would work. He accepted the film while he was working on two other projects, and by that time, my films had also been released. He believed that I was capable of pulling off action sequences. As a performer, I don’t have to add anything. He is one of the best performers we have in the country. We wouldn’t discuss much on the sets as he would already have the scene paper and the dialogue. He had also read the script. So, he wouldn’t take much time at all. It does help that he is a director as he understands what all needs to be done. That’s why I called him sharp. If something takes time to set up, he knows why."
