"That changes the dynamic immensely, right? Every country has a different distributor that bought the movie, so every one of those distributors has to sign off."
The first film cost $50 million and grossed a worldwide total of $35 million. Shankar admits the film has "built an audience over time" and he's not giving up. Watch the full interview below:
