Actor-producer Dev on Friday announced that he will make his directorial debut with the much anticipated Bengali film DeSu7, set to hit theatres on Durga Puja 2026. The announcement comes amid the recent ‘ban’ on Bhattacharya in the Bengali film industry. Dev has been very vocal against ‘ban culture’ in the Bengali film industry. Days after the press meet, the Directors’ Association of Eastern India (DAEI) wrote to Dev expressing willingness to resolve the issue. In a first for the Bengali film industry, the tickets for DeSu7 went on sale 10 months before the actual release of the film.
