Shah Rukh Khan’s Timeless Charm Vs Prabhas’ Epic Heroics: Who Will Win? | Glamsham.com

A titanic showdown is imminent at the Indian box office as Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas, India’s two largest superstars, get ready for an surprise confrontation on October 31, 2025. The day coincides with the release of Prabhas’ Baahubali: The Epic and the opening of the Shah Rukh Khan Film Festival, setting off a historic clash that has polarized fans around the web.

The controversy was renewed when the announcement video for Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit called Prabhas “India’s biggest star.” While Prabhas devotees rejoiced at the moniker, Shah Rukh Khan’s enormous international fan following wasn’t easily won over. What had started as social media jibes soon grew into a full-fledged fandom war, with each side staking claim to their icon as the real king of Indian cinema.

For Prabhas, Baahubali: The Epic is a big-screen extravaganza — a re-edited combination of Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion, aimed at presenting viewers with an improved, seamless story experience. Released by T-Series, the Hindi trailer of the film alone has already reached 6.8 million views, indicating vast expectations. With its evergreen appeal and improved presentation, the film is likely to attract old viewers as well as new ones to the cinemas across the country.

At the same time, Shah Rukh Khan’s Film Festival to commemorate his legendary career and 60th birthday on November 2, 2025 is now confirmed. The festival, held in association with PVR INOX, will be launched on October 31 and will include re-releases of SRK’s all-time greatest films in India and foreign markets such as the Middle East, North America, the UK, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia. Fans will once again experience classics like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Chak De! India, and Pathaan on the big screen.

The overlap between the two major events has created a rare cinematic moment — one that transcends box office numbers. It’s not just a commercial clash, but a celebration of two generations of stardom: Shah Rukh Khan, the enduring “King of Bollywood,” and Prabhas, the modern face of pan-Indian blockbusters.

As October 31 looms near, anticipation keeps rising. Be it for the nostalgia of SRK’s ageless classics or the hype around Prabhas’ mythological reinterpretation, viewers are in for a blockbuster weekend a weekend that promises drama, pride, and box office history in the making.

After the recent cast announcement of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit, the internet is buzzing as fans debate who truly rules—Shah Rukh Khan or Prabhas. In the first video asset of Spirit, Prabhas is hailed as “India’s Biggest Star,” but SRK fans are not convinced. Now, this fan frenzy is about to spill over into the box office in an unexpected showdown.

Shah Rukh Khan vs Prabhas: The Big Box Office Face-Off

Fans are already buzzing as two of India’s biggest stars prepare for an unexpected clash on the big screen. On October 31, 2025, Shah Rukh Khan’s Film Festival will hit theaters the same day as Prabhas’ Baahubali: The Epic, setting the stage for a showdown that promises drama, nostalgia, and massive box office numbers. The internet is already divided—will SRK’s charisma or Prabhas’ larger-than-life screen presence reign supreme?

Recently, the King of Bollywood announced that some of his iconic films will return to theaters as a special Shah Rukh Khan Film Festival. This will begin on October 31, 2025, in order to celebrate the actor’s 60th birthday on November 2, 2025. The festival is in partnership with PVR INOX and will also see international screenings in the Middle East, North America, UK, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia. Classic SRK hits will return to theaters, giving fans a chance to relive some iconic moments on the big screen.

Surprisingly, on the same day, Prabhas’ Baahubali: The Epic will be released nationwide. It is a combined version of the Baahubali first and second installments. The Hindi trailer released by T-Series has already garnered over 6.8 million views, proving the anticipation is sky-high. With both releases on the same day, it’s shaping up to be a record-breaking box office clash.

With SRK celebrating decades in Bollywood and Prabhas being the poster boy of epic Tollywood cinema, this collision isn’t just about numbers—it’s about fan pride, cinematic spectacle, and two generations of stardom coming together in a historic way.

When SRK & Prabhas Collided Before

This isn’t the first time these two stars have battled at the box office. Back in December 2023, Prabhas’ film Salaar and Shah Rukh’s Dunki locked horns at the box office. In that battle, Salaar outshone Dunki, as the film earned 615.26 crore gross, whereas the SRK film gained 470.60 crores gross in collections.

October 31, 2025, promises a cinematic showdown like no other, and fans are ready to choose sides. Whether it’s SRK’s timeless charm or Prabhas’ epic heroics, the box office is set for fireworks.

‘Rental Family’ and ‘Hamnet’ Win Audience Prize at Middleburg

by jummy84 October 21, 2025
written by jummy84

The 2025 Middleburg Film Festival is the latest to bestow Chloe Zhao’s “Hamnet” its Audience Award for Narrative Feature, but this time the Focus Features release shares the honor with Hikari’s “Rental Family, set to be released by Searchlight Pictures.

Though the award still supports the idea that “Hamnet” is the one fall festival premiere most likely to be a Best Picture Oscar frontrunner next year, especially since it also won the coveted People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, it being tied with “Rental Family” helps paint a picture of how there can be plenty of films that excite audiences outside the New York/Los Angeles bubble.

Jafar Panahi

Keep in mind, the Audience Award process at Middleburg is similar to the one at Toronto, in that any film screening at the festival is eligible. And the harsh thing about Toronto this year was how many well-received premieres, be it “Rental Family” or “Roofman,” had been said to have had their awards campaigns tanked by not winning said People’s Choice Award, as if their worth is tied to their potential to win an Academy Award.

“Rental Family,” which closed the 2025 Middleburg Film Festival, with writer/director Hikari present to receive a standing ovation, was described by IndieWire critic David Ehrlich as “a gentle little movie that recognizes truth and performance as two sides of the same coin.” Pegged as a crowdpleaser before it had publicly screened anywhere, the response the Brendan Fraser response received at Middleburg, from an audience that primarily consists of wealthy film enthusiasts in the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area, quite a few who work in the film industry, proved that initial read to be justified. Worth noting “Frankenstein,” the runner-up for the People’s Choice Award at Toronto, had also screened at Middleburg.

Anyhow, another film that had arguably been overshadowed at other festivals, but got its turn in the spotlight at Middleburg was “The Cycle of Love,” which took the Top Documentary Prize. Another Telluride world premiere a la “Hamnet,” the film tells the true story of an Indian man cycling 6000 miles cross-continent on bicycle to find his love. Other documentaries that screened at the festival include Netflix’s “Cover-Up” and National Geographic films “Love+War” and “The Tale of Silyan,” yet “The Cycle of Love” has yet to find a distributor. One can imagine the filmmakers hope the Middleburg audience’s reaction can be leveraged in a partner ready to campaign the film as a true Best Documentary Feature contender.

Though it won the Jury Prize after its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, “The Voice of Hind Rajab,” which won the Top International Prize at Middleburg, has yet to find a distributor, even though it is directed by two-time Oscar nominee Kaouther Ben Hania and has already been selected to represent Tunisia for Best International Feature.

Outside of actual prizewinners, this particular regional crowd anecdotally hailed a mix of the expected, like Palme d’Or winner “It Was Just an Accident” from director Jafar Panahi or Scott Cooper’s “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere,” and unexpected like A24 romantic comedy “Eternity,” starring Elizabeth Olsen (programmed as the Saturday Spotlight film), and Searchlight Pictures’ “Is This Thing On?”

A portion of the older crowd seemed to still have difficulty with “After the Hunt,” or even “If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You,” which features a visceral performance from Rose Byrne, but were very warm on most of Netflix’s slate of films, from Noah Baumbach’s “Jay Kelly,” which opened the festival, to Richard Linklater’s “Nouvelle Vague,” and Rian Johnson’s “Wake Up Dead Man,” the latest installment in the “Knives Out” franchise.

“We’re thrilled to see how our slate of films connected so profoundly with our audiences,” said Middleburg Film Festival Executive Director Susan Koch via statement. “The humanity and emotional depth of these four films clearly struck a chord, reflecting the kind of bold, globally minded storytelling our festival strives to champion.”

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce’s 1587 Prime Date After Chiefs Win

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce’s 1587 Prime Date After Chiefs Win 

by jummy84 October 20, 2025
written by jummy84

Family is everything to Taylor and Travis, so the VIPs automatically include their respective parents and brothers. Presumable best man Jason Kelce also shares at least two flower girl-age daughters, Wyatt and Elliotte, with wife Kylie Kelce—though depending on when the big day is, little sister Bennett could grow into the role as well. (Alas, baby Finnley will probably have to sleep this one out.)

We’ll see which of Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs teammates make the cut, but he was a groomsman at QB Patrick Mahomes‘ 2022 wedding to Brittany Mahomes, so at the very least one boy from the football team should be there. He also has a loyal coterie of pals he’s been cultivating since his Cleveland Heights days, so that golf-and-beer-centric bachelor party is gonna be lit.

As for the bride, childhood bestie Abigail Anderson has remained a mainstay in Taylor’s life. And, while her famed squad has evolved over the years, Selena Gomez is still in the inner sourdough-gifting circle, as are Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, despite rumors they’ve fallen out amid the actress’ legal battle.

Not to mention, speaking of potential flower girls, Taylor is godmother to Blake and Ryan’s daughters.

Hrithik Roshan’s Landmark Victory In Deepfake Case: A Win For All Celebrities! | Glamsham.com

by jummy84 October 16, 2025
written by jummy84

Bollywood icon Hrithik Roshan has won an important legal battle against deepfakes and abuse of celebrity identity. The Delhi High Court has restrained officially people and platforms from using Hrithik’s name, image, voice, or likeness in any AI-made or false content without his clear consent.

The move is timely when AI and deepfake videos are spreading fast in India, tending to blur the reality vs. fiction line. Hrithik, a face closely identifiable and marketable as any from Bollywood, stood firm to safeguard his reputation and image from being used for nefarious purposes online.

Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora, the judge hearing the case, ordered various internet sites and listings misusing Hrithik’s name to remove the content immediately. But the court was at pains to say that genuine fan sites and fan clubs will not be touched — only those leasing his persona for profit or false promotions are under this order.

The court highlighted that the use of a celebrity’s face, voice, or edited clips not only deceives people but also infringes on their publicity and personality rights. In short, no person or entity can derive profit from Hrithik’s personality or develop AI content mimicking him without the fear of prosecution.

This interim order is a significant development in directing how India addresses AI abuse and digital impersonation, particularly with regards to public personalities. The issue is to come back for a detailed hearing in March 2026, when the court can give a final ruling.

Hrithik’s move to court also mirrors a wider trend within the film world, as celebrities increasingly head to court to protect their online personas. Recently, other celebrities such as Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, Karan Johar, and Kumar Sanu have similarly approached court with petitions against the use of their face in such counterfeit or AI-based videos.

Deepfakes are increasingly becoming an issue all over the world, with a number of actors and celebrities being at the center of doctored videos or audio recordings that can tarnish reputations or deceive viewers.

For Hrithik Roshan, the case is a signficant victory not only for him but for celebrity rights in India. It establishes a vital precedent, affirming that digital impersonation for monetary gain is not only unethical — it’s illegal. This ruling may open the doors to tighter controls on AI-generated content in India.

The Kerala Story Director Slams Filmfare Awards, Calls It A ‘Tamasha’ After Laapataa Ladies’ Big Win

The Kerala Story Director Slams Filmfare Awards, Calls It A ‘Tamasha’ After Laapataa Ladies’ Big Win

by jummy84 October 14, 2025
written by jummy84

The recently concluded Filmfare Awards 2024 in Ahmedabad celebrated what many called a landmark year for Hindi cinema, with Laapataa Ladies emerging as the night’s biggest winner. The film bagged 13 trophies, including Best Film, while Abhishek Bachchan and Kartik Aaryan jointly won Best Actor, and Alia Bhatt took home Best Actress. However, not everyone was impressed. Director Sudipto Sen, best known for The Kerala Story, has lashed out at the awards, calling them a “tamasha” and accusing the organisers of promoting hypocrisy in the name of art.

Taking to Instagram, Sen shared a strongly worded note criticising the Filmfare Awards and the films that dominated this year’s ceremony. “This year Filmfare truly is an expose of Indian ‘nouvelle vague’… A blatantly plagiarised film… a film which is a tutorial of brutality and a film which did not survive the box office for more than 72 hours took away most of the crowns,” he wrote. “As expected, the best work of 2024 remains elusive. Realised why Filmfare was so vocal against The Kerala Story receiving National Awards. I am happy that this ‘wood’ community does not recognise, invite or choose us.”

Sen didn’t hold back as he criticised the glamour and perceived insincerity of Bollywood’s award culture. “We are spared from faking smiles, faking camaraderie, and most importantly, not indulging in any sycophancy,” he continued. “In the end, I am happy that we are saved from hobnobbing with this tamasha in the name of cinema in Mumbai and clicking selfies in Cannes. At least we are spared from these ugly hypocrisies and fake tapestry in the name of cinema.”

In his caption, the filmmaker elaborated further on his disillusionment with the Indian film establishment: “I never expect anything great from any Indian cinema establishment, particularly when it is media or cinema journalism. Mostly enamored by the glamour and rich world of the stars, exactly the way people from villages and small cities gather in front of Mr. Bachchan or SRK’s house. They actually have zero contribution towards cinema, cinema art, the way world media does for world cinemas.”

While Sen refrained from explicitly naming the films he criticised, many inferred his targets from the context. The “blatantly plagiarised film” appeared to be a dig at Laapataa Ladies, directed by Kiran Rao. The “tutorial of brutality” was widely understood as Kill, a high-octane action film backed by Karan Johar, and the one that “did not survive the box office for more than 72 hours” likely referred to I Want To Talk.

Sen’s post quickly caught attention online, reigniting debate around credibility, favoritism, and artistic merit in Bollywood award functions. Some agreed with his sentiments, praising him for calling out what they saw as a long-standing culture of superficial celebration. Others accused him of bitterness, pointing out that The Kerala Story had already received national recognition and that dismissing other films’ artistic merit was unfair.

This isn’t the first time Sudipto Sen has stirred controversy. Just last month, he won the National Award for Best Director for The Kerala Story, which also earned the award for Best Cinematography. The film, based on the story of women from Kerala allegedly forced to convert to Islam and join ISIS, polarized audiences and critics alike. While it was hailed by some as a bold and necessary story, others condemned it as propagandist and divisive.

Despite the backlash, The Kerala Story proved to be one of the most commercially successful and talked-about films of the year, grossing over ₹250 crore worldwide. Sen’s strong words against Filmfare now underline his ongoing rift with Bollywood’s mainstream circles — a clash between what he perceives as “authentic cinema” and what he calls “fake glamour.”

For many, Sen’s post has once again raised uncomfortable but necessary questions about whether Indian film awards truly celebrate cinematic excellence or simply reward popularity and influence within the industry.

Who’s Most Likely To Win

by jummy84 October 13, 2025
written by jummy84

After a long hiatus, Verzuz is officially back—this time, under full ownership of its legendary founders Swizz Beatz and Timbaland. The two producers have regained control of the platform and are reintroducing it with fireworks.

The highly anticipated return lands at ComplexCon in Las Vegas on Oct. 25, and it’s nothing short of monumental: Cash Money Records vs. No Limit Records.

Two of Hip-Hop’s most influential empires go head-to-head in a battle for the culture. Cash Money, with blockbuster artists like Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Juvenile, and Hot Boys, is widely favored to dominate.

On the other side, No Limit Records, led by the pioneering Master P, boasts a deep roster including Mystikal, Silkk The Shocker, Mia X, and the late Soulja Slim, and is often overlooked despite its massive impact in the late ‘90s and early 2000s.

According to social media, most fans are seemingly betting on Cash Money. But don’t count No Limit out just yet.

The underdog role is familiar to Master P. He built No Limit from the ground up, selling CDs out of his trunk before becoming a mogul. This battle isn’t just about chart-toppers for P.; it’s about legacy, hustle, and who moved the culture.

Here are five reasons why the Cash Money and No Limit Verzuz could be closer than expected.

  • Showmanship

    Being a live performance platform, showmanship plays as big a factor in who is ultimately crowned the victor as the records spun throughout the night.

    We’ve seen multiple occasions where an artist or group with a seemingly sterling catalog failed to move the crowd or resonate with viewers tuning in via livestream. Throughout his career, Master P has been known for bringing an infectious energy to the stage, proving he’s not above breaking a sweat while engaging the crowd.

    The same can be said for many of his artists that have passed through his stable, including Mystikal, Mia X, and others. Birdman, on the other hand, has always had a swagger that while seemingly innate, can border on lackadaisical at times.

    Add in tensions among key members of the Cash Money crew and it remains to be seen if Birdman can rally his troops in their showdown against the No Limit tank.

  • Strength In Numbers

    One aspect of No Limit Records‘ reign that’s being underestimated is the sheer amount of classic records embedded in their catalog.

    Before the age of streaming and online platforms where artists can upload musical projects, Master P and in-house producers Beats by the Pound were churning out full studio albums on a near-weekly basis.

    In 1998 alone, No Limit released 21 studio albums that either earned gold or platinum certification, a feat yet to be replicated by a boutique record label. While the quality of some of those albums can be subjective, the same goes for Cash Money, as both labels experienced creative dry spells at one point or another.

    But with only 20 songs needed, No Limit is armed with a considerable amount of firepower, including jams from oft-unsung artists such as Soulja Slim, Kane & Abel, Young Bleed, Fiend, Magic, and Mac. And that element of surprise could potentially neutralize some of the more commercially successful fare from the CMB.

  • Competitive Pride

    The rivalry between No Limit Records and Cash Money Records is one of the more understated in the history of Hip-Hop.

    With both labels founded and headlined by New Orleans natives, the two crews have not only battled for real estate on the airwaves, but hometown pride and the distinction of being the preeminent rap crew out of Louisiana.

    Master P and No Limit were the first of the two to gain national prominence, many fans and critics have concluded that Birdman and Cash Money ultimately won the war due to the label’s sustained excellence for nearly three decades.

    We’re sure Master P has heard that analysis himself. Being the competitor that he is, it’s likely that despite his talk of the matchup being a celebration, he’s itching to flip the script and give the world a reminder of he and his artists’ greatness.

  • Nostalgia Factor

    Verzuz has grown into a cultural pastime that draws spectators of various ages and generations, even the fans that may not be as digital savvy as millennials.

    Largely a platform for legacy acts, many of the participants on Verzuz made their debuts in ’90s or the ’80s.

    And while viewers born in the new millennium may have a recency bias towards Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and Drake, some fans will be more excited to see artists who were prominent during their own coming of age.

    The sheer nostalgia of seeing No Limit’s plethora artists turn back the hands of time could possibly turn that seeming strength into a weakness and the tide in their favor.

  • Wild Card Moments

    The fact that you never know exactly what to expect from a Verzuz matchup makes it one of the more exciting and invigorating live stages to impact the culture.

    While you may have a sense of what you think is going to occur, unpredictable moments, guest appearances, and lack of chemistry has resulted in numerous Verzuz upsets, according to the general consensus among fans leading into the event.

    In our opinion, No Limit Records is one of the more live wild cards to participate in the event, as there’s no certainty in what playbook Master P is gonna draw from. Whereas Cash Money‘s playlist will likely consist of hits from the Hot Boys and Young Money, No Limit has multiple angles which they can attack from, whether it be Billboard smashes, hometown staples, or beloved deep cuts, from a myriad of candidates.

    For instance, one wild card that could swing the balance of power in No Limit’s favor is Snoop Dogg, who released multiple albums on No Limit, including his signature hits “Still a G Thang,” Bi**h Please,” and “Snoop Dogg (What’s My Name Pt. 2).”

    Beyond that, seismic collaborations like Silkk the Shocker‘s appearance on R&B star Mya’s 1999 hit “Movin’ On” and Master P’s own guest spot on LL Cool J’s “4, 3, 2, 1 (Remix),” are among the selections that may not immediately come to mind when thinking of No Limit, but can equally cause an uproar if delivering in the right moment and fashion.

Forrest Frank, Brandon Lake & Jelly Roll Win at 2025 GMA Dove Awards

by jummy84 October 11, 2025
written by jummy84

The GMA Dove Awards celebrated many of the biggest songs and artists of the year when the annual awards ceremony aired on Friday night (Oct. 10) on TBN. This year’s awards show took place at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena (the awards show had previously been held at Lipscomb University’s Allen Arena for several years).

With the theme “Creation Sings,” it was appropriate that the evening both started and concluded with two elements: the evening began with For King & Country, Taylor Hill, Africa Nashvlle, and Stage Ready performing a new song, “World on Fire,” as flames danced across the stage.

The show was filled with uplifting singing, all aimed a sharing a faith-filled message. Being in Music City, a various sounds were represented during the evening, including rap/hip-hop, Southern Gospel, Spanish-language, pop, and country.

New artist of the year winner Leanna Crawford performed her hit “Still Waters (Psalm 23),” while host Tauren Wells and Gio also offered up a sterling, energetic rendition of “Let the Church Sing,” complete with staging that included pews and a church podium, as he sang joined by a choir.

Josiah Queen performed “Dusty Bibles” and “The Prodigal” while Elevation Worship and Elevation Rhythm performed “Goodbye Yesterday” and “I Have Decided.” Other performers included Fred Hammond with The Choir Room.

Israel & New Breed teamed with Unified Sound, Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, Alex Campos, Christine D’Clario, Josh and Waleska Morales, Ingrid Rosario, Janina Rosado, Lucia Parker, Nate Diaz and Aaron Moses for a charismatic, uplifting performance of “Coritos de Fuego,” while flying several flags including flags representing Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

Forrest Frank was awarded the biggest honor of the evening, artist of the year, as well as accolades for pop/contemporary recorded song of the year (“YOUR WAY’S BETTER”) and pop/contemporary album of the year (CHILD OF GOD). Frank had previously released a video on social media stating he was not attending the awards ceremony, and was not present at the ceremony.

The Brandon Lake/Jelly Roll collaboration “Hard Fought Hallelujah” took home honors for song of the year, bluegrass/country/roots recorded song of the year and short form music video. Lake took home five total awards — he also won songwriter of the year-artist, and worship recorded song of the year, for “I Know a Name” with Elevation Worship and Chris Brown.

“I’m not sure how much I belong speaking up here right now…I ain’t been this nervous since I went to criminal court, y’all,” Jelly Roll said as he took the stage alongside Lake as song of the year winners for “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” “This is a real thing for me….I was thinking about Matthew, when he talks about ‘the least,’ when he said, ‘When I was hungry, you fed me, when I was thirsty you gave me water, when I was in jail you came and visited me and I realized I am standing here because people took the time with the least. I want to give this message as clear as I can…the world is hearing about Jesus like they haven’t in decades right now. There is a revival happening in the United States of America, where you can’t go on a corner and not hear about Jesus right now,” he said, encouraging those listening, “They’ve heard of Jesus, now go show them Jesus.”

Hulvey accepted the rap/hip-hop album of the year accolade for his project Cry, saying, “Glory to the father. And GMA, thank y’all for doing things spirit-filled, for showing the world that we can love Him through our music.”

Carrie Underwood joined Ben Fuller on a rendition of their collaboration “If It Was Up to Me.” To commemorate the Opry 100 celebration happening this year as the Grand Ole Opry celebrates its centennial anniversary, Opry members Steven Curtis Chapman, Vince Gill and Lady A highlighted the longstanding ties between country music and faith-filled messages, performing a version of Hank Williams Sr.’s “I Saw the Light,” as well as Lady A’s “I Run to You,” Gill’s “Go Rest High on That Mountain” and the country classic “Will The Circle Be Unbroken.”

CeCe Winans won two honors during the evening, including Christmas recorded song of the year, for “Joy to The World.” In winning Gospel worship recorded song of the year for “Come Jesus Come” with Shirley Caesar, Winans thanked Caesar, telling the crowd, “I love her, I grew up listening to her, so to be able to sing with her was just amazing..I’m honored to do what we all get a chance to do,” adding, “God is faithful…we have an awesome responsibility and that is to bring as many people as we can…Let’s remember why we do what we do, so God would be glorified, and so that as many souls as possible would come to know who Jesus is.” Winans also sang “Come Jesus Come” during the evening, turning in one of the most inspired, powerful performances.

The evening closed with another surprise, as Jon Batiste joined Jelly Roll and Brandon Lake to perform “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” They performed on the main stage at Bridgestone, as rain poured down over the performers onstage.
