Process started by script does not receive SIGINT

I am on Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS (AWS)
I am creating a python process via this command:
nohup python -u main.py > nohup.out 2>&1 &
I would like to send a ctrl-c/SIGINT to the process, so I send kill -2 <pid>.
When I start the process from my terminal, this works fine, the program receives the keyboard interrupt and closes gracefully.
When I start the process via a .sh script or via another bash process (e.g. bash -c 'nohup python -u main.py > nohup.out 2>&1 &'). (I believe both methods start the process in the same way), the process does not receive the SIGINT when I send it.
SIGTERM (default kill) works normally and closes the process, but does not let the process close gracefully, but I need.
What's happening?
process kill signals sigint

No, they're not started in the same way. Since bash is running scripts with the job control turned off, the background mode of the commands started with & from a script is just "faked" by letting them ignore SIGINT and SIGQUIT and redirecting their input from /dev/null.
See my answer here (with references to the standard describing this).
In your case this also means the main.py isn't setting any handler for SIGINT in order to do a "graceful" exit, but it's just forcefully killed by a Control-C or kill -2 when run from an interactive shell. If it did set a handler, that handler would've also overridden the SIG_IGN disposition of SIGINT set by the parent shell when run from a script.
