The film's soundtrack and score are composed by Savvy and Nilayan Chatterjee.
The film is set to release on 16 October 2026, coinciding with Durga Puja, in a clash with Bohurupi: The Golden Daku, The Eken : Kerala-e Kurukshetra and Emperor vs Sarat Chandra.
Production
The film was announced on 2 January 2026. It marks the reunion of Dev and Subhashree Ganguly after their six commercially successful collaborations, Challenge (2009), Paran Jai Jaliya Re (2009), Romeo (2011), Khokababu (2012), Khoka 420 (2013), and Dhumketu (2025). Dhumketu was completed and was supposed to release in October 2016, but suffered multiple delays and entered development hell for several years, and finally released in 2025. Thus, DeSu7 marks the reunion of the two actors after ten years.[4]
The film also marks the fourth collaboration of Dev and Anirban Bhattacharya, after Arshinagar (2015), Golondaaj (2021) and Raghu Dakat (2025). The film is also the tenth collaboration of Dev and Rajatava Dutta after I Love You (2007), Challenge (2009), Paglu (2011), Paglu 2 (2012), Challenge 2 (2012), Yoddha: The Warrior (2014), Hoichoi Unlimited (2018), Tonic (2021), and Byomkesh O Durgo Rahasya (2023).
The film marks the first collaboration between Bhattacharya and Ganguly, who were first supposed to share screen in Chor Police Dakat Babu, which was announced but later shelved.
Golden Ticket
On 19 January 2026, Dev and Ganguly appeared together on a Facebook Live session to announce the advance booking of tickets for the film. In a first for the Bengali film industry, the tickets were going on sale 10 months before actual release of the film.[5][6]
Inclusion of Anirban Bhattacharya
On 10 April 2026, Dev posted a video with Ganguly, announcing the inclusion of Anirban Bhattacharya, as well as his own directorial debut through this film.[7] The inclusion of Bhattacharya was largely observed as a move against the "ban culture" then existing in Tollywood, which had led to an apparent "ban" of Bhattacharya, after he completed working on his previous collaboration with Dev, Raghu Dakat.[8]
Dev's directorial debut
Initially, the film was announced to be directed by Shoojit Rino Dutta, who had previously directed Dev in Khadaan, which became a blockbuster at the box office and emerged as the highest grossing Bengali film of 2024 and the third highest grossing Bengali film of all time, and also marked Dev's debut as creative director and a comeback to the action genre after a few years.
However, in the video released on 10 April 2026, Dev and Subhashree Ganguly announced that Dev will be making his directorial debut with this film, replacing Dutta.[9]
Filming
Dev posted a picture of Bhattacharya's look test on 15 May 2026.[10] The film began the production on 2 June 2026, after a muhurat ceremony on 1 June 2026.[11] Dev posted a picture with Bhattacharya, on 6 June 2026, announcing the commencement of filming of Bhattacharya's portions in the film.[12]
The first look poster of the lead pair was launched on 23 June 2026.
