Am just hoping it gets well. Although i can feel progression in his health, he takes food when i bring it near to his mouth but i still am in doubt that it will be able to swim again cause i dont see any progress in that regard.
Any suggestions.

Good job your dedication is commendable 
I would suggest pointing the filter outlet towards his face ( from far if the flow is strong) to help him breathe. It will also help him develop his muscles as he will have to paddle a bit to maintain position |

Sorry for no update :
I also guess its a swim bladder disorder,
I feed him daily in his mouth,health wise he is looking ok but he's not able to swim.
Now i have decided to shift him to a new smaller aquarium as he doesn't swim and i have to keep him in straight position with help of support as seen in pic.
I have decided to go for a marine setup in the aquarium in which aro is as of now. |

| Currently am having a 5 footer FOWLR marine setup and is running well on from last one year. So i guess this wont repeat. I feel marine setups more easy/interesting then fresh water. |

@imagica you were so keen and dedicated or may be busy in setting up/maintaining "interesting " marine tank that it got "easy" for you and this monster fish is paying the price.
yes keeping a monster fish is difficult than maintaining water salinity.
you must surely had done lots of research on FOWLR |
