Hi ansarwasif,
I had a look at your scene, and in my opinion, the most of the noise comes from the weak HDR used in conjunction with the physical sun, infact you have two suns working in the same scene. The HDR has low resolution and low dynamic. So, if you rise the gamma from 1 to 2.2 to get the shadows, then you are going to introduce a lot of noise. You would try to change the HDR with one downloaded from this site:

or use an emitter to simulate the secondary sun :roll:
