New fort (Pudukkottai) was a princely state till 1947. It is a well-planned and successfully built city. The government ruled well with kings and officials with excellent management skills. It is the best country in art and culture. Later annexed to Republic India in 1948. The municipality has functioned well today as it has for centuries. The film festival is proudly held in the name of this town. and we proudly say many Tamil actors, writers, and filmmakers are raising the Tamil film industry.
