Box-office: Ranveer is now ahead of Ranbir&nbsp

As Simmba officially became the part of the esteemed Rs 200 crore-club on Wednesday, its lead star Ranveer Singh became the only Hindi film actor besides Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan to have more than one Rs 200 crore-film in his kitty. The quirky actor had earlier hit a double ton with the last year’s Padmaavat.

Simmba, in its 12-day run at the box-office, has fetched a monumental Rs 202.83 crore. But that’s hardly news as the film’s opening-weekend performance was enough to suggest that it was destined to make it big. The story behind the story is that with Simmba with crossing the Rs 200 crore-mark, Ranveer has left behind Ranbir Kapoor in the box-office race. Wondering how? Let us explain.

Ranveer, as we told you, already has two Rs 200 crore-films to his credit. But Ranbir, who the actor is often compared to given the similar magnitude of their respective fan bases, only has one film in the coveted club – the last year’s Sanju that went on to earn over Rs 340 crore. So currently, the Gully Boy of Bollywood is leading against the Bollywood’s Rockstar by one Rs 200 crore-grosser. (Thanks to Padmaavat and Simmba, Ranveer Singh joins Salman Khan in the ‘Rs 500 crore club’)

Interestingly, the other gen-next stars such as Varun Dhawan, Tiger Shroff, Sidharth Malhotra, Vicky Kaushal, Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana are yet to make their debut in the double ton club.

Ranveer, on the other hand, has created yet another record with the stupendous success of Simmba. He is now the only actor besides Salman Khan to make over Rs 500 crore at the box-office in a year. Simmba, directed by Rohit Shetty, hit the screens on December 28, 2018.
