Production and release

Before the release Sachin commented that the movie was not a remake of Satte Pe Satta, but instead was an adaptation of English movie Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.[10] He said that Satte Pe Satta had a crime angle, while this film is a musical comedy. About the title, Sachin said, "Satpute is a common Marathi surname, and since the film has seven brothers, I thought it was an apt name for the film."[5] Tata Motors tied up with the film to promote Tata Ace mini-trucks.[11]

The film was released in theaters in Maharashtra on 18 April 2008.[5][12]
