I got Solution... The solution is That IText currently not support (as per my searching) Indic languages such as Marathi. It's language parser is yet not completely mature for indic Language. As it is open source,i was using it.

Now,I have moved to Apache FOP 1.1. It support indic Languages.But important con is that it is resource intensive.In other word, it is slower than IText.

Thank You...

You need to add unicode with your string when you're passing as input.The unicode for bangla or Hindi is

\u0986\u09ae\u09bf \u0995\u09cb\u09a8 \u09aa\u09a5\u09c7
      \u0995\u09cd\u09b7\u09c0\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u09b7\u09a8\u09cd\u09a1
      \u09aa\u09c1\u09a4\u09c1\u09b2 \u09b0\u09c1\u09aa\u09cb
      \u0997\u0999\u09cd\u0997\u09be \u098b\u09b7\u09bf

Here is the Example
