Production and Release
Before the release, Sachin commented that the movie was not a remake of 'Satte Pe Satta' (1982), but instead was an adaptation of English film 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' (1954). 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."
Tata Motors tied up with the film to promote Tata Ace mini-trucks.
The film was released in theaters in Maharashtra on 18 April 2008.
