Hi Ravi,
1) Go to the methods tab of the view containing your ALV & create an event handler method for event ON_CLICK of ALV. This method would be called by the system whenever you click the button within your ALV cells.
2) For this create a new view say POPUP_VIEW & a new window say POPUP_WINDOW.
3) Now embed your POPUP_VIEW within your POPUP_WINDOW.
4) Now within the view which displays your ALV, go to the event handler method for ON_CLICK & call the popup window.
This can be done by making use of the code wizard. Just start the wizard and select the "Generate Popup" radio button. When you do an F4 help within your component use you would now be able to see an entry with the name of your new window that you have created i.e, POPUP_WINDOW. Just select that entry and press on enter. That's it you have done the needful for achieving your desired functionality.

Am just pasting you the code from my event handler mthod for ON_CLICK event:
METHOD call_popup .
  DATA lo_window_manager TYPE REF TO if_wd_window_manager.
  DATA lo_api_component  TYPE REF TO if_wd_component.
  DATA lo_window         TYPE REF TO if_wd_window.
  lo_api_component  = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
  lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
  lo_window         = lo_window_manager->create_window(
                     window_name            = 'POPUP_WINDOW'
                     message_display_mode   = if_wd_window=>co_msg_display_mode_selected
                     button_kind            = if_wd_window=>co_buttons_ok
                     message_type           = if_wd_window=>co_msg_type_none
                     default_button         = if_wd_window=>co_button_ok
  lo_window->open( ).
ENDMETHOD.
