Chennai, April 22 (IANS): Actor Jayam Ravi, who plays a tribal character in upcoming Tamil forest-based romantic thriller "Vanamagan", has no dialogues in the film.

Actor Thambi Ramaiah, who plays a pivotal role in "Vanamagan", on Saturday lauded Ravi's conviction to accept such a role.

"Ravi's character is such that he has no dialogues in the film. It's not easy to play a role where you need to express everything through your body. Hats off to Ravi to accept this kind of role," Ramaiah told reporters on the sidelines of the "Vanamagan" audio launch.

Directed by Vijay, the film marks the debut of "Shivaay" fame Sayyeshaa.

Talking about Sayyeshaa, with whom Ramaiah shares most screen space in the film, he said: "Unlike most debutante heroines I have worked with, Sayyeshaa learnt the meaning of each dialogue and learnt her dialogues. Her commitment amazed me."

The film has music by Harris Jayaraj, and is gearing up for a May release.
