What can be the problem..??

There is probably a firewall in the middle. 'Filtered' does not equal 'closed', it just means there is something in the 
middle.

From Nmap man page: ..."Filtered means that a firewall, filter, or other network obstacle is covering the port and 
preventing  nmap from determining whether the port is open."...
