Somali humor is dry, ironic, and fast. The fanproj allows voice actors to improvise. When the snake-woman slithers across the screen, the Somali dub might have her mutter, "Cawar, cago badan baa ii dhibay..." ("Damn, these many legs are a problem..."), breaking the fourth wall and turning horror into absurdist comedy.
The "fanproj" (fan project) was announced with a trailer that immediately went viral within Somali cinephile circles. The trailer showed the shape-shifting snake-woman, but instead of the original Hindi dialogue, she spoke in the harsh, rhythmic dialect of Waamo (southern Somalia). Sunny Deol’s monosyllabic grunts became elaborate poetic monologues about vengeance and xeer (customary law).
