Updated : May 23, 2026

King Nagarjuna marks exactly four decades in Telugu cinema today. His acting career began when his debut film, Vikram, hit the screens on May 23, 1986. Interestingly, this date carries another deep emotional connection for him. Years later, on May 23, 2014, the Akkineni family's multi-starrer Manam was released. It was a significant project as it marked the final on-screen appearance of the legendary ANR.

Reflecting on this rare coincidence and his 40-year journey, Nagarjuna took to X to thank the audience:

"Thank you for all the blessings and love being showered on me today May 23!! the date I cannot forget!! The day which I had the honour of producing and releasing the last film MANAM of my legendary father ANR the film which I had the privilege of working both with my father and my sons. Years ago MAY 23 also gave me the opportunity to release my first film Vikram, an opportunity to entertain you, to be blessed and loved by all of you. My deepest gratitude to all the fans who have stood by me all these years. Looking forward for many more May 23 ‘s"

On the work front, Nagarjuna is currently busy shooting for his milestone 100th project, tentatively referred to as King100. The film is being directed by Ra. Karthik with Tabu playing a prominent role.
