On disabling explorer.exe file in windows, we disable the click events as well as the desktop icons and all other interface facilities are disabled.
Is there any file in ubuntu which disables these interface facilities in ubuntu?

So you want to remove any file manager abilities from the users in your system?– Bruno PereiraNov 21, 2013 at 11:57

Why don't you just install Ubuntu Server instead of Ubuntu Desktop? It comes without GUI by default.– Andrea CorbelliniNov 21, 2013 at 11:57

Explorer's equivalent is Nautilus in standard Ubuntu. It manages the file browsing and desktop. Unity is rendered out by Compiz, which is separate though.
Your simplest route for disabling all of that, is to just use a different session and Window Manager. Something like OpenBox or even NoDM (if you're just running one application). It'll mean you need to get under the hood and work out how window managers work... But that's a damned sight easier than ripping out functionality of Nautilus.
