Taking to Twitter, Dhanush shared the poster and wrote, "Captain Miller First look ! Respect is freedom."

In the poster, Dhanush can be seen sporting a manbun, holding a heavy gun-like weapon. The poster also features bruises on his head and a lot of people lying dead on what looks like a battlefield.
