Rahul Saini is a contemporary Indian author. His work has strong comic tones and presents upbeat stories that portray the fun-loving, free-spirited and outgoing character of today's Indian youth. His first look was published in 2008 and made it to several bestsellers’ lists across the nation.[1][2][3] He believes that today's youth likes fast-paced stories which are either larger than life[citation needed] or which they can relate to. In order to broaden his works' appeal, he avoids addressing themes regarding sex and sleaze.[4]
His novels have numerous references to many movies and T.V. shows.[5]
He has signed a two-book contract with Penguin India and the first book has been titled Paperback Dreams.[6]
His book Paperback Dreams fueled a controversy as an exposé detailing the inner workings of the commercial fiction publishing industry in Delhi; calling it out as the "casting couch for the publishing industry". The term "casting couch" is a euphemism for a process where newcomers must, in order to gain access to the industry, perform sexual favors with the more established members.[7]
