Early this morning, it was announced that Suriya's 36th film, produced by Dream Warrior Pictures and directed by Selvaraghavan, would hit the screens for Diwali 2018. Interestingly, Suriya's 35th film, Thaanaa Serndha Koottam, directed by Vignesh Shivn, is scheduled for a Pongal 2018 release.
 

Looking back at Suriya's film career, he has previously had two festival releases in the same year in 2001. In the mentioned year, Suriya had Friends releasing for Pongal (Jan 14) and Bala's directorial Nandha (Nov 14) releasing for Diwali 2001. Now, after a gap of 17 long years, Suriya will be having two back to back festival releases in the year 2018.

It is equally going to be a celebratory moment for Suriya fans too, as their favourite star's two important films are going to release on two important festivals of the year.
