Firstly, Immortals and its sequels are known as the Shiva Trilogy. The central character goes by the moniker of Shiva and there are several allusions in the Immortals of Meluha (for example Shiva getting a blue throat upon drinking Somras similar to Lord Shiva having a blue neck after drinking Halahal poison) that point towards the character Shiva being the human adaptation of Lord Shiva..In the cover page he carries a trident --the signature weapon of Lord Shiva.
Whereas Lord Parshurama is the 6th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Parshu in Sanskrit means an axe. In the movie poster, the character is carrying a double edged axe. So it does very much look like an adaptation of Lord Parshurama's tale..
The poster of the movie, however, is very much inspired by the cover page of The Immortals (now you too think the same, I'm convinced even more), but the movie, it seems is a totally different story..
