Bharat: Total harmonic distortion can be measured in many ways, but Rashmi asked about filter design. (A filter to suppress aliasing is needed even for your FFT approach.) Rashmi: Windowed-sinc design is historically interesting, but rarely the best design method when appropriate software is available. Windows suppress unwanted responses in the stopband, but they increase the length of the filter needed to meet the cut-off spec. Different windows make the tradeoff to different extents. Nowadays, one usually supplies the specification to a program and an complete design is produced. I don't know what tools you have. Matlab and its clones can do this, also ScopeFIR (free trial version at http://www.iowegian.com/scopefir), and several Java applets on the web, such as http://www.dsptutor.freeuk.com/remez/RemezFIRFilterDesign.html.
