But I have set the app with user and group both nginx. but nothing is showing.

Well, I didn't find any specific answer to this but I fixed it after running collectstatic command.
One thing, I missed that whenever we create any Django projects and at the time of deploying to another place we need to run python manage.py collectstatic so that our app can detect the static files and update their path. So I updated the codebase and deployed it on the server the but didn't used collectstatic, so i was unable see those images.
The python manage.py collectstatic did the work.
