I watched a leaked special look at the film. If you don't want spoilers than I suggest you don't read this comment.

Turns out, when Kaa meets Mowgli her hypnotism shows him his past.

When Mowgli was a baby, his father took him into the jungle. He carried a torch with the "red flower", which attracted Shere Khan. The tiger attacked Mowgli's father, who hit Shere Khan in the face with the torch, scarring his nose and blinding his left eye. Shere Khan killed the man and left, not knowing Mowgli was there, leaving Mowgli to be found by Bagheera.
