Lokesh Kanagaraj confirms Coolie trailer to release on August 2

The director also highlighted that the movie will be a complete commercial entertainer, meant for the audience to relax and watch.
Lokesh Kanagaraj about his upcoming movies
Coming to Lokesh Kanagaraj's work front, the director once again confirmed he is next working on Kaithi 2. Afterwards, he will likely work with Aamir Khan for his superhero flick.
Talking about the Aamir film, the director said, 'After Kaithi 2, my next would be Aamir sir's movie. It will be a Hindi film but meant for a global audience, not just for Indians. He is a lot similar to Kamal sir. For now, I can't say if it's a superhero film, but it will be the biggest action movie.'
Moreover, Kanagaraj also confirmed he has commitments to making a Vikram sequel and a standalone movie for Rolex. Additionally, he is still interested in making Leo 2 and Master 2, but it depends on Thalapathy Vijay's availability.

Season 4 premiered in the summer of 2022, and left viewers on quite the cliffhanger. Max (Sadie Sink) had been attacked by Vecna and left in a coma with some pretty gnarly injuries. While Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Steve (Joe Keery) and Robin (Maya Hawke) thought they shot and killed the big bad, after exiting the Creel house, his body was nowhere to be found. In the ending shot of the season, the group looked out over Hawkins as the Upside Down began to creep into more of the real world, hinting that things were about to get a lot worse.

Showrunners and creators Matt and Ross Duffer (known as The Duffer Brothers ) wrote in a Netflix blog (via The Hollywood Reporter), "Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things. At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons. It proved too large to tell in four, but—as you'll soon see for yourselves—we are now hurtling toward our finale. Season 4 will be the penultimate season; Season 5 will be the last." Stranger Things Season 5 will release its eight episodes in three separate batches. The first will air on Wednesday, Nov. 26, the day before Thanksgiving. The second part comes Christmas Day, Thursday, Dec. 25.
