The film's soundtrack and score are composed by [[Savvy Gupta|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]]'', ''Eken Babu: 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 film)|''Challenge'']] (2009), ''[[Paran Jai Jaliya Re]]'' (2009), [[Romeo (2011 film)|''Romeo'']] (2011), ''[[Khokababu]]'' (2012), ''[[Khoka 420]]'' (2013), and [[Dhumketu (2025 film)|''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.

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 Bengali film)|I Love You]]'' (2007), ''[[Challenge (2009 film)|Challenge]]'' (2009), ''[[Paglu]]'' (2011), ''[[Paglu 2]]'' (2012), ''[[Challenge 2]]'' (2012), ''[[Yoddha: The Warrior]]'' (2014), ''[[Hoichoi Unlimited]]'' (2018), [[Tonic (film)|''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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=In a first for Bengali cinema, 'DeSu7' tickets go live 10 months before release |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/in-a-first-for-bengali-cinema-desu7-tickets-go-live-10-months-before-release/cid/2143407 |access-date=2026-06-10 |website=www.telegraphindia.com }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=A First For Bengali Cinema: Dev-Subhashree open 9-month advance booking for Puja 2026 film |url=https://www.millenniumpost.in/entertainment/a-first-for-bengali-cinema-dev-subhashree-open-9-month-advance-booking-for-puja-2026-film-644708 |access-date=2026-06-10 |website=MillenniumPost }}</ref>

===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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dev announces directorial debut with DeSu 7 as Anirban Bhattacharya joins cast |url=https://www.t2online.in/screen/bengali/dev-announces-directorial-debut-with-desu-7-as-anirban-bhattacharya-joins-cast/2004598 |access-date=2026-06-10 |website=www.t2online.in }}</ref> 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]].<ref>{{Cite web |title='দেশু ৭'-এ থাকছেন অনির্বাণ! এই ভাবেই 'ব্যান' উঠে যাওয়ার ঘোষণা? কী জানালেন পরিচালক দেব? |url=https://www.anandabazar.com/entertainment/dev-stated-that-anirban-bhattacharya-is-working-with-him-in-desu-7-amid-the-72-hour-controversy-dgtl/cid/1679711 |access-date=2026-06-10 |website=www.anandabazar.com |language=bn}}</ref>

===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 [[List of Indian Bengali films of 2024|highest grossing Bengali film of 2024]] and the [[List of highest-grossing Indian Bengali films|third highest grossing Bengali film of all time]], and also marked Dev's debut as creative director and a comeback to the [[Action fiction|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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=আনুষ্ঠানিক ঘোষণার পরেও পিছিয়ে গেলেন সুজিত রিনো! কেন পুজোর ছবি 'দেশু ৭' পরিচালনা করছেন না?- Anandabazar.com |url=https://www.anandabazar.com/entertainment/why-director-soojit-rino-dutta-is-not-directing-deshu-7-after-announcement-dgtl/cid/1680319}}</ref>
