MUMBAI: Sony Sab is all set to launch its flagship show of the year, Hero - Gayab Mode On. With the power of invisibility as a distinctive element in the story, blended with a gripping storyline, Hero - Gayab Mode On will premiere on 7 December, and air every Monday-Friday at 8 pm.

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. However, Veer’s prized possession is also desired by the evil aliens of the outer world and here begins Hero’s real challenge to save humanity.

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.
