Your problem means that you have changed your configuration but not yet told

hostname <host name you want to use>
For your example, you would use
hostname sunny2

1) I recently removed the localhost entry in /etc/hosts file Does it
have any impact on this issue.

2) And btw, where does hostname on shell prompt retrieve its value from?
