Trade sources say Suhana will feature in Johar's upcoming Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, currently being shot in the US.
Suhana will appear in the film as a boy. Sources say she will play the role that child artist Ahsaas Channa was to play.
Ahsaas' appearance in Johar's film ran into controversy recently after her father Iqbal Channa, a Punjabi film producer, sent a legal notice to Johar alleging that the filmmaker had taken his daughter to New York for the shooting of KANK without his permission.
Channa had filed a petition in the Mumbai family court to stop his estranged wife Kulbir Kaur Badesron from taking the child out of the country. The court's order -- which restrained Kulbir from taking her daughter out of India till the final disposal of the application -- came even as the unit had already left for America.
Ahsaas was earlier seen in Ram Gopal Varma's production Vaastu Shastra.
