Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty's first collaboration Simmba has set the box office on fire quite literally. After crossing the Rs 350 crore mark at the global box office, the cop drama is now inching towards the Rs 250 crore mark at the domestic BO. Co-starring Sara Ali Khan, the film released on December 28 and since then has got cash registers ringing across the world. With the film's success, Ranveer has also consolidated his stature as a bankable star. After all, Simmba is his first biggest solo hit till date. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to microblogging site Twitter just a while back and revealed the updated BO figures. Simmba Box Office Collection: Ranveer Singh Starrer Surpasses the Rs 350 Crore Mark Worldwide.
