Simmba: Rohit Shetty becomes first Bollywood director to deliver eight Rs 100 cr hits, Ranveer Singh hails his ‘bro’
Friday, January 4, 2019 IST
Ranveer Singh-starrer Simmba is director Rohit Shetty’s eighth consecutive Rs 100 crore hit, making him the only Bollywood filmmaker to achieve this feat. Here’s a look back at his other blockbusters.
Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has become the first director in the history of Bollywood cinema to deliver eight back-to-back films to have made more than Rs 100 crore at the domestic box office. His latest, the Ranveer Singh-starrer Simmba, has made more than Rs 124 crore in five days of release. “Rohit holds the record for maximum films in ₹ 100 cr Club,” wrote trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
Shetty’s films are known for their mass appeal - Simmba producer Karan Johar in a recent tweet called him the ‘masala maverick’ - and for combining several popular genres. Simmba is a spin-off of his popular Singham series of films, that starred Ajay Devgn as a tough cop.
Ranveer announced the achievement on Instagram, declaring, “All hail the blockbuster king! Ro-bro be slamming century after century.”
Singham isn’t the only franchise Shetty has spawned - his most popular remains the Golmaal franchise, whose most recent installment was also the most successful at the box office. Shetty is also responsible for two of star Shah Rukh Khan’s most successful recent films - Dilwale and Chennai Express, both of which made more than Rs 400 crore worldwide.
Here’s a look back at Shetty’s eight Rs 100 crore hits:
