Screen and keyboard flickering

The MacBook Air 2017s screen started flickering along with its backlit keyboard once I tried to open it starting new session. As others key were not working I pressed shutdown to switch it off and again started it agin after few minutes. This time the laptop is booted but it started making frequent and loud sound tuk tuk tuk....

As again others key won't working I had to go for Shutdown key to switch it off. This time I noticed that the bottom part of my MacBook Air was generating a lot of heat. I waited for 20 minute and then again restarted it only to find this time it was normal as usual....

What may have caused this problem in MacBook Air and how can I prevent it from happening again?
