"I'm a big fan of the first film and it's amazing to work with the original cast as well as the new generation of cast members. I feel really blessed. I hope I did the ensemble justice. It helped to have reverence for the cast and I respected everyone's work in it."
Gregory Hatanaka, Multi Award-Winning Filmmaker
