| Rai, 33, will play the role of Mumtaz Mahal, the favourite wife of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan who built the stunning monument for her.
Oscar-winning actor Sir Ben Kingsley, who will also be producing the $30m film, will play Shah Jahan.
Rai, a former Miss World, is one of Bollywood's top stars and is hugely popular in her native India.
The as yet untitled film will be produced by Sir Ben and is scheduled to be shot in India in 2008, Rai's foreign agent Simone Sheffield told the BBC News website.
The director of the film has not yet been chosen and the script has yet to be completed, Ms Sheffield said.
Another Bollywood actress and former model, Bipasha Basu, will be playing the role of Shah Jahan's daughter, Jahanara.
Rai has been featured on the cover of Time magazine as Bollywood's leading lady and has been interviewed by Oprah Winfrey and David Letterman.
Earlier this year, she married fellow star Abhishek Bachchan, son of Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan.
