Ranveer Singh's Simmba rakes in Rs 350 crore globally

With Simmba's spectacular box office success, Rohit Shetty became the initial director to possess eight movies surpassing the Rs 100 crore mark in Bollywood. The appearances of the actors Ranveer Singh, Sonu Sood and the new but glamorous actress Sara Ali Khan in Simmba have set the entire box office on fire.

Currently, this is the third week of Simmba's release. Besides, the film has to face strong competition from two releases within this week including Vijay Gutte's The Accidental Prime Minister and Aditya Dhar's Uri: The Surgical Strike. Nevertheless, Simmba fever shows no sign of reducing.

In merely 15 days after its launch, Ranveer's movie has raked in Rs 219.54 crore in the domestic market while garnering Rs 350 crore globally.

Recently, Karan Johar, Simmba's one of four co-producers, took to Instagram to share the film's extraordinary achievement with the admirers.

Inspired by the 2015 Telugu-language smash Temper, Simmba involves around a corrupt cop Sangram Bhalerao (played by Ranveer). Despite a police officer, he colludes with the local criminal leader named Durva Ranade (played by Sonu Sood) to guarantee the regular bribes. Nevertheless, after the tragic death of the female he treats as his sister, conscience in him awakens and he starts to step into a more righteous path.

Of course, Ranveer Singh is extremely delighted due to Simmba's resounding triumph. Nevertheless, in an interview with IANS, the 33-year-old actor confided that he wants to keep that impressive figure away from his mind.

Instead, "I want to protect the sanctity of my craft and my love for cinema," stated he. Concurrently, he desires to maintain "a certain ethos" leading to his present success: doesn't receive a project merely due to its "Rs 300-crore prospect."

On the contrary, Ranveer's purpose in his career is "to entertain people" "as much as possible". "I'm an entertainer, and I want to be the best entertainer. It's a single point agenda for me and personal ambition," confided Ranveer.
