[1] His father, Sultan Quli Qutb-ul-Mulk, had established the dynasty and had become the first Muslim to rule over the entire Telugu region.

Following his father's death, he did not proclaim himself sultan, but forced local chiefs to accept his suzerainty, while gaining some forts from the Baridis.

[3] Jamsheed's father, Sultan Quli Qutb-ul-Mulk, was the progenitor of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, and ruled over the region of Telangana for nearly twenty-five years, although never formally assuming kingship.

However, modern historians, including H. K. Sherwani argue that both Firishta's work and the Tawarikh-i-Qutb Shahi were compiled much later, during the reign of the descendants of Ibrahim Qutb Shah, who was Jamsheed's younger brother, and would therefore be inclined to portray Jamsheed as having a part in the assassination of his father, adding legitimacy to Ibrahim's claim.

Jamsheed's army marched out to face them, and after a short battle near Narsingi, realizing his losing position, Jamshid ordered a retreat to the fort.

Jamsheed refused, possibly fearing that accepting a crown at the hands of Burhan might signify that Golconda had become a protectorate of Ahmadnagar.
