Kousalya Krishnamurthy is a 2019 Indian Telugu-language sports drama film, produced by K. A. Vallabha under the Creative Commercials banner and directed by Bhimaneni Srinivasa Rao.

The film stars Aishwarya Rajesh, Rajendra Prasad, Karthik Raju and Sivakarthikeyan in a supporting role, with music composed by Dhibu Ninan Thomas.

Kousalya moves for training at National Cricket Academy Bangalore, where she is humiliated by seniors due to internal politics, and even the coach demotes her to a large extent.

However, the entry of a new coach named Nelson Dilipkumar, an ex-Indian cricketer, develops the team’s spirit and gets the players ready for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

At one point, Nelson decides to rest Kousalya for the league matches as a strategy to hide her talent and give a surprise to opponents, which brings her down.

At the same time, Krishnamurthy’s house is auctioned by the bank; hearing it, Kousalya becomes anguished when Nelson motivates her to make her father proud by winning the match.

K. S. Rama Rao, the presenter of the film, saw the trailer of Kanaa on the sets of World Famous Lover and decided to remake it in Telugu.
