Simmba is Rohit Shetty's eighth consecutive movie to surpass Rs 100-crore at the box office and the third film to gross over Rs 200-crore. Rohit Shetty's previous films that had collected Rs 200-crore are Shah Rukh Khan's Chennai Express and Ajay Devgn's Golmaal Again.
Simmba is a remake of Telugu movie Temper featuring Jr NTR in the leading role. Simmba narrates the story of a corrupt policeman, Sangram Bhalerao, who has a dramatic change of heart when a woman, who he considers close to him, is raped and killed.
