Hi Khushbu, I guess it is better if you consult a speech therapist to improve his pronunciation.

hi Kushbhu Shah! hope u r doing good! this type of speech problem is common with children as "R " is the toughest sound to make. sometimes it is mastered between 7 to 9 years of age. but u could work on it, while speaking to him using R letter words make sure u show him the correct placement of your tongue and lip movements. let him speak and repeat. also u could keep his hand on your mouth while speaking R and R letter words. praise him for his efforts . make sure u continue speaking same words with him for few weeks . have a list of words R for example Ring, Rat , Rose , Rub, Rough etc practise everyday. I am sure with your patience, praise and perseverance he will come around soon.
