Simmba marks Ranveer Singh's first collaboration with Rohit Shetty. The 33-year-old actor, who plays the titular role in the film, assigned complete credit for the film's success in an interview with news agency IANS recently. "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 Ranveer as saying.
Ranveer Singh co-stars with Sara Ali Khan in Simmba, which marks her second Bollywood film.
