"The lifetime collections have a shot at Rs 250 crore (nett) but it will depend on the holds in week three and week four," the report stated."

Simmba marks Ranveer Singh's first collaboration with Rohit Shetty. Ranveer, who is playing the titular role in film, in an interview to news agency IANS assigned the credit of the success of the film to the filmmaker. "I want to thank Rohit Shetty for believing in me and making me his hero. Rohit's vision propelled by the collective effort of his entire team has been the sole reason behind Simmba hitting the bull's eye. It has been an absolute honour to work with him and his stellar team. Their large-hearted mentoring and exemplary work ethic has spurred a tremendous growth in me as a performer," IANs quoted the 33-year-old actor as saying.
