Hi Syed Ali,
Try to update cookie as well,

session.setAttribute(WebKeys.LOCALE, locale);
LanguageUtil.updateCookie(request, response, locale);


If you are trying to update language for signed user and want to persist that language for future then also update it in user profile. Please find reference here https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/master/portal-impl/src/com/liferay/portal/action/UpdateLanguageAction.java line 87.
