The correct term for a person who stars in a movie is lead actor. The term "star" is a widely used metaphor ("superstar" is also a popular version) but that is more about the perceived importance of a given actor, rather than the kind of role being played. A completely unknown actor can still be given a lead role. For example, when Mark Hamill appeared as a lead actor in "Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope" he was at the time not a star in any sense, but he did become a star because of the success of that role.
