Years later he made his debut as a lead actor through the 1986 Telugu film Vikram directed by V. Madhusudhana Rao. It is the remake of 1983 Hindi film Hero. The film was a success giving Nagarjuna a good start.

Later, he starred in films Captain Nagarjun, Aranyakanda, Majnu, Sankeertana, Collector Gari Abbai, Agni Putrudu and Kirai Dada in 1986 and 1987. Among them Majnu is considered as one of the turning points of his career. It was directed by prominent telugu film director "Dasari Narayana Rao".
