When i start smoke coming from that point of hole of silencer pipe.engine also over heating just for 5 min start and coolant boiling,

I think there is a small hole due to stone hit below engine to silencer pipe and leaking of engine oil.

the oil leak may be the rear main dripping on the exhaust.

the overheating needs to be checked asap before you damage the motor.
