Chennai: One of the country's greatest music directors Ilaiyaraaja has announced a sequel to his popular album 'How to name it'.

The composer chose to release a video making the announcement.

He said, "In films, there are sequels, right? There is a Part I, Part II, Part III. 'Superman I', 'Superman 2', 'Superman 3' or a 'Batman 1,2,3,4.' I had a thought as to why such a thing should not happen in music. Therefore, 'How to Name it 2?' is going to come soon."

The news has delighted fans as the first album was nothing short of a masterpiece.
