I have made some custom shell script to process certain format. for example

filename as argument. is there anyway I can make rightclick on files and
openwith customshell script where filename automatically comes as argument !
Sure. If you are using gnome+nautilus, simply right click the file name->Open
with-> Other application-> Use a custom command.
You may choose to directly call your script directly (which *i think* would
result in the script being called in the background) or launch it within a
terminal. Most terminals support launching a command automatically using a flag
(like -e for most xterm variants). So, you can enter something like this for the
custom command:
/usr/bin/gnome-terminal -e your_script_name
The file is passed as an additional argument to this command.
If this is a frequent operation you might OTOH, want to write a nautilus script
so that the option is shown directly in your right-click menu:
