This would involve a lot of work and require frame by frame editing. If you want to do this kind of effect, the best thing would be to shoot with a green screen. Do a search on the forums for "green screen" as there is a very informative thread on the forums.

i cannot reshoot with green background, so there is no way of off removing the current background?????

There is, but you'd have to do each frame by hand as I'm sure your "actor" moves - so you'd have to draw around the person in every single frame. At 50 frames per second... that's a long time...
