Shortly after its delayed release, the film's production company announced an online premiere and days to the scheduled premiere, it supposedly leaked on YouTube.

Unfortunately for eager fans, the leak turned out to be a prank as Ali released a version of trailer clips tagging it the film's leaked version.

'The Girl in the Yellow Jumper' was shot in Northern Uganda in 2018.
