It is not long before a lead actress role comes her way by casting director Rishi Gandhi.

She happens to see Rishi delivering the cassette to Remon (Suman), a rich female living in a huge mansion in Shimla.
As the mystery intensifies, Ria begins to ask questions. Who is Remon and why is she so interested in her screen test cassette? Also why is she not allowed to re-shoot the screen test?
It is not long before Ria's questions get answered in Gumnaam, an edge of the seat thriller by director Neeraj Pathak releasing in UK cinemas by London Films.
