Hero – Gayab Mode On is about the incredible journey of a common man, Veer (Abhishek Nigam) and his quest to find his father. Veer's life takes an exciting turn when he chances upon a miraculous ring, which upon wearing gives him the power of invisibility. The ring can only be worn and owned by someone who has the inherent virtues of kindness, courage, selflessness, nobility and empathy. At the same time, it also has the power to corrupt and degrade the weak hearted, making them vicious. But Veer decides to use this superpower for good, making him the Hero.

Introducing Abhishek Nigam in the lead role of Veer aka Hero, the show also stars Manish Wadhwa as Amal Nanda, Ajay Gehi as Shukracharya, Yesha Rughani as Zaara, Nitish Pandey as Mama and twins Surabhi and Samriddhi as sisters Sweety & Meethi, along with a host of supporting cast.
