New Delhi National award winning actor Rajit Kapoor, who plays Anupam Kher's son in forthcoming film 'Morning Walk', believes that the simplicity is the USP of the movie.

Directed by Arup Datta, the film revolves around a retired professor, Joymohan (Anupam Kher) and his relationship with his family. Sharmila Tagore plays the long-lost friend of Kher in the movie.

"Its a simple, straight forward and sweet story, with no overdose of typical Bollywood melodrama. The simplicity attracted me towards the film," says Kapoor.

The actor, who had previously played Kher's son in 'Maine Gandhi ko Nahin Maara', says his character comes from a middle class background.

"The film portrays city life and how people get caught up in it," Kapoor says.

Kapoor believes that the film will connect well with the audience as it is the story of every man.

"My character undergoes a dilemma in the film which is possibly faced by every son in a normal family," says Kapoor.

Kapoor won the National Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Mahatma Gandhi in 'The Making of the Mahatma'.

The actor has made his mark in all three mediums, be it television, theatre or films but he prefers the stage over the other two, as it provides the excitement of a live show, and Kapoor believes that the small screen has not advanced that much.

"Although we might have advanced technologically, I don't think we have moved ahead in terms of content," says Kapoor, who found fame with his small screen role as detective 'Byomkesh Bakshi'.

The 1993 serial was an adaptation of Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay's famous book.

Kapoor is once again gearing up for the role of a detective, this time a sophisticated middle aged man, in upcoming movie 'Blue Oranges'.

Some of his other future projects include, Deepti Naval's 'Do paise ki Dhoop Chaar aane ki baarish', Yeh Mera India' and 'Fruit and Nut'.
