To care of the pulling of the ligand in any direction I made the box size 14 in each direction filled with water. The simulation runs perfectly and ending with the ligand almost 0.6 nm away from protein. But all this takes lot of computation power due to the need for rigorous sampling. Is there any way to cut the computation cost while maintaining the accuracy?

0.6 nm is not very far, especially if your solute-box distance is 14 nm (which 
would be appropriate to get a full dissociation).  There's not much to do aside 
from making sure you're using an efficient box, e.g. rhombic dodecahedron.  A 
cube is inefficient.
