Can anyone provide details of the location shooting? The battle scenes were quite spectacular for a 'low budget Hammer' with loads of extras horses etc. the anti-penultimate scene features about a hundred uniformed British troops leaving the fort is just casually thrown away; weird.

I've just been watching this on television and it seems that all the location and battle scenes were lifted from two earlier Columbia CinemaScope films, ZARAK (1956) and THE BANDIT OF ZHOBE (1959). Indeed, Ronald Lewis was dressed in the same type of clothing as Victor Mature in the earlier two films, so as to blend the old and new scenes. It might look expensive because of its use of footage from the earlier two films, but THE BRIGAND OF KANDADHAR was basically a studio bound film made on the cheap.
