Hello all, I found a way of doing this and thought of sharing this info with you. I found a way to dynamically change the field which gives the suggestions. It's using the solr spellchecker (Not suggester). You can basically configure a indexed field as default *spellcheck.dictionary* in the config file. Later you can set what ever the field you want suggestions from in the request (Can set more than 1) as the spellcheck.dictionary. This way you can set even multiple fields as spellchecker dictionaries and suggestions will be returned according to the indexed values of those field.
