Singer Reju Joseph's son Jagan Reju played the role of teenage Kareem. Anwar Rasheed says that he accidentally saw Jagan's Facebook profile and was stunned by the boy's resemblance to Thilakan in his teenage years.

It was an unexpected call and when I went to meet him, he was surprised and asked me whether I will play the teenage role of Thilakan Sir."

Jagan was shown only in flashback without any dialogue.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/tabloid/kochi/meet-flashback-kid-037 |title=Meet the flashback kid |publisher=[[Deccan Chronicle]] |date=19 July 2012 |access-date=9 November 2012 |author=Shruti Karthikeyn |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120720014014/http://www.deccanchronicle.com/tabloid/kochi/meet-flashback-kid-037 |archive-date=20 July 2012 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
