Custom error message is not working laravel5.1 form request?

Custom error message in form request class in not working, my form request class given below,

class FileRequest extends Request {

    protected $rules = [
        'title' => ['required', 'max:125'],
        'category_id' => ['required', 'integer', 'exists:file_categories,id']
    ];
    public function authorize() {
        return true;
    }
    public function rules() {
        return $this->rules;
    }
    public function message() {
        return [
            "category_id.required" => 'Category required',
        ];
    }
}

Here when category_id is null, showing error message category id is required instead of Category required in laravel 5.1?

It is messages, not message.

Change 

public function message()

to 

public function messages()

You do not need to create any functions to change these messages. In the file /resources/lang/en/validation.php you can add translations for the field names you are using in the attributes array.

In your case, you would do the following:

return [
    'attributes' => [
        'category_id' => 'Category'
    ],

];

Now, whenever the category_id doesn't pass the validations, the error message will display this simply as Category.
