Young Saroo's close relationship with his older brother Guddu is a critical emotional thread through the film. In his first acting role, the character of Guddu is played by Abhishek Bharate. Director Garth Davis explained: "In casting for Guddu, I felt that the character just had to be pure light, he had to shine. When I was in India looking at locations, I was in a small village, and saw a boy standing on the roof of his house. He was everything I thought Guddu to be. He had a kind of Indigenous quality, an old world feeling, and a light that shone from him. I did test this boy and although he wasn't right for the role, he became symbolic for me in the search for the right boy to play the role. Abhishek came in and it was instant, he had a smile that just killed you. He's like the sun on your face, when he's around you, you just feel his energy."
