Asked whether Johar had introduced him to any of his Bollywood films, William said the filmmaker had been modest about his work and promised to watch K3G.
He said he is looking forward to returning to Mumbai for the 2026 Earthshot Prize, drawn by the city’s energy. William said he was excited about bringing the Earthshot Prize to Mumbai, where the winners of the 2026 edition will be announced on November 17 during a televised awards ceremony. Asked whether Johar had introduced him to any of his Bollywood films, William said the filmmaker had been modest about his work.
It’s the biggest one we’ve done,” he said. “No, he’s been very modest, but I’m sure as time goes on, he’ll introduce some more films to me,” he said. “K3G might be easier,” William said, agreeing that the abbreviated title would be easier to remember. Speaking about Mumbai, William said, “So I’m really looking forward to the vibe.
The prize, which supports projects addressing environmental challenges, will be held in India for what organisers describe as its biggest edition yet. We want to make it a truly Indian Earthshot Prize. It’s one of the most vibrant cities I’ve ever been to. The love of cricket out there is phenomenal. I’ve never known anything like it. And I love my sports. Obviously, football is my number one. But seeing how the Indians love their cricket, this felt like a really fun thing to do to get some of the icons from cricket on the mall in an iconic situation and just kind of get everyone excited about the idea of Earthshot coming to Mumbai. ”
