Sai Pallavi, who will be making her debut in the Tamil film industry with the horror flick Karu, has bagged another whammy. The actor has been roped in to play the female lead in the upcoming Suriya film tentatively called "Suriya36".

The film will be produced by Dream Warrior Pictures, which has had a great year with films like Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru and Aruvi earning praise from critics and audiences alike. The film will be directed by Selvaraghavan, who is known for his intense films.

According to a tweet put out by Dream Warrior Pictures, the film will release for Deepavali 2018.

Suriya's Thaana Serntha Koottam will release in January next year and the actor has been busy promoting the film. It's said to be a remake of the Akshay Kumar starrer Special 26.

Meanwhile, Sai Pallavi has been conquering one industry after the other. Known as the Premam girl, she floored Telugu audiences with her first Telugu film Fidaa. Her Middle Class Abbayi with Nani is all set to hit the theatres on Thursday.

Although Sai Pallavi's debut in Tamil was pushed for several reasons, the actor finally bagged a flick produced by Lyca, which is known to back big budget projects. She will also be acting with Dhanush in Maari 2, to be directed by Balaji Mohan.

Sai Pallavi's portrayal of Malar Teacher from Premam won her unprecedented fame in the whole of the south and the actor has quickly become among the most sought after heroines.
