Captain Miller cinematographer says climax underwent several cuts

Siddhartha Nuni delved into the film's tone, emphasising that despite being an action-packed venture, Captain Miller strays from excessive violence. He revealed that a portion of the climax underwent edits to secure a 'U/A' certificate, ensuring it remains family-friendly without compromising its essence. The cinematographer highlighted Arun Matheswaran's approach, mentioning that while the action is pivotal, it's curated for a wider audience, focusing on grandeur rather than excessive violence.

Revealing that the cuts were in Captain Miller's climax portions, Siddhartha also addressed the intensity of the action scenes by saying, “Arun has already said it, but this film doesn't have as much violence compared to his first two films. It was set up like a large-scale spectacle event film to be enjoyed by a larger audience. So, we kind of kept the violence to the limit and we didn't go beyond a certain point where we'd probably get an adult certificate because we aimed for a 'U/A' so that the whole family could come and watch. It's an action film.”

Excitement surrounding the action in Captain Miller

The unveiled action sequences in Captain Miller's teaser and trailer have escalated the film's anticipation.

The emphasis on a 'U/A' certification promises an action-packed yet family-inclusive cinematic experience.

Dhanush's recent teaser poster on social media sparked a frenzy among fans, solidifying the anticipation for this Arun Matheswaran directorial. As Captain Miller gears up for its theatrical release, the excitement surrounding this action-packed narrative only intensifies.
