Theme_hook_suggestions not working

Question

I'm using hook_preprocess_node in a module. In that, I check whether the node type, and on satisfying the condition I'm doing a theme_hook_suggestions. My tpl.php files are inside my modules template folder, It is not taking the tpl file I have suggested. I have searched a lot, but didn't find any solutions

Any solution would be apprecaited Here is my code

/**
 * Implements hook_preprocess_node().
 */
function mymodule_preprocess_node(&$varaiables) {
  if (isset($varaiables['node'])) {
    $node = $varaiables['node'];
    $field_template_list = $node->field_template_list[$node->language][0]['value'];
      if ($node->type == 'event') {
        $varaiables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'module_name_' . $field_template_list;
      }
   }
}

Drupal will not look for template overrides in custom modules, only themes.

If you really want to put a template override in a custom module see the answer to this question.

Extra notes are:

• Make sure to handle punctuation and any other undesirable characters in your field value.
• field_get_items() is a better way to get the value of a field from a node.
• It is generally best to keep your template suggestions in line with what is already there. For example starting this suggestion with 'node__' followed by your custom stuff, like maybe 'node__event__' . $field_template_list or something like that. It makes it easier in future to know what kind of template it is.
