DiCaprio has been linked to the Indo-US production Xtreme City, along with Martin Scorsese, who is said to be producing the film.
Screenwriter Mushtaq Shiekh confirmed the casting to Hindustan Times, saying: "It's true. We are all elated. This is the best news I have heard in a long time."
The tabloid reports that the three stars discussed the possibility of working together when they met in Germany.
"The sheer logistics of merging two great filmmaking cultures seemed overwhelming, until a secret meeting took place on February 12 at last year's Berlin Film Festival," a source revealed.
Filming on the movie will commence in 2012 at the earliest.

The Red Chillies Entertainment movie, directed by first-time filmmaker Roshan Abbas, is based on the 1999 play Graffiti.
"Always Kabhi Kabhi is a young film about teenagers and required a fresh casting. I have roped in some exciting new faces for the movie. Add to that, it's a blessing to be backed by none other than SRK who believed in the project and the Red Chillies banner," said Abbas.
The project stars newcomers Zoa Morani, Ali Fazal, Satyajeet Dubey and Love Aaj Kal actor Giselli Monteiro.
Sunil Lulla, executive director of Eros International Plc, commented: "Roshan is a very talented personality and his debut film promises to be high on the freshness quotient, and the youth, especially teenagers, will definitely identify with it."
Grapevine has it that the Hollywood filmmaker Martin Scorsese is looking forward to cast King Khan and the ‘Titanic’ star Leonardo Di Carprio together, in his future flick titled ‘Xtrme City'.
The planning for this project began at the Berlin Film Festival, which the B-town megastar Shahrukh Khan had attended for his 2010 blockbuster film ‘My Name is Khan’, and the Hollywood actor Leonardo and producer Martin were there to promote their film ‘Shutter Island'.
‘Xtrme City' is going to be directed by the 1976s 'Taxi Driver' fame director Paul Schrader.
It’s learnt that the Bollywood screenwriter Mushtaq Shiekh will be lending a helping hand to Paul Schrader, in penning down the script for the film.
The forthcoming flick ‘Xtrme City' is on the whole a crime story, based on the gangsters of Mumbai. The movie will be largely shot in Mumbai, India.

According to Mid Day, the 45-year-old Bollywood superstar has asked Akon to persuade the 'Born This Way' singer to do a music video for the film.
A source told the newspaper: "If she agrees to do Ra.One it would be a huge asset for the film. Akon has already bounced the idea to GaGa's management and her team. While she's touring right now, there's a possibility that Shah Rukh might have a meeting with her in coming weeks."
The source added: "While Anubhav Sinha and Khan are trying hard to get Akon to convince Gaga, they are also sending Shakira feelers for the same."
Akon has already recorded a song called ‘Chamak Challo’ for the movie, which is slated for release in October.

"It's a real problem maintaining such strings of hairs attached. I haven't shaved for so many days. I have huge respect for women, but really want to ask them how they maintain their long hair," Shah Rukh told the media at the launch of a documentary his production house made on the 1960s epic film "Mughal E Azam" at the JW Marriot Hotel Thursday night.
Shah Rukh said he was waiting for the shooting of director Farhan Akhtar's "Don 2" to wrap up so that he could get rid of the wig.
"I wake up in the morning and have to set it. I can't take a proper bath. They had to be washed with care. I am really, really looking forward to the shooting of 'Don 2' to wrap up," he said.
"My daughter tells me 'Papa I want to take you for a bath'. It's a huge problem. No sooner than the shooting of 'Don 2' finishes, I will take out this wig," the actor joked.

Abbas is currently working on his first feature Always Kabhi Kabhi, which is being produced by Khan's company Red Chillies.
In an interview with the Times of India, the television host turned helmer said: "He has always been around on the sets. He is the busiest person on this planet.
"Even in the middle of that, he used to find time for my film. That's what makes him really interesting. He was there as a mentor in that sense, but he has not been a tormentor."
Graffiti, based on a play written by Abbas in 1999, is a slice of life drama set in a Delhi high school.

According to Hindustan Times, the star will be seen with long hair, stubble and a tattoo with the initial 'D' on his right arm.
The actor, who is also currently shooting home production Ra.One, is said to have requested that he is presented in a contrasting way in the two projects.
It has also been suggested that a separate international version of the film will release, following the same model as Hrithik Roshan's Kites and Kites: The Remix.
The second installment in the Don series is scheduled to release on December 23.

With him playing superhero in Ra.One, Shah Rukh gets into heavy costumes that make him lose weight. Unfortunately, he has to put on all that lost weight back on for his continuity in 'Don 2'.
It's this constant losing weight and putting on weight that has got SRK exhausted. But the actor says he's loving the process nonetheless, simply because the masses are going to be entertained at the end of it all.
However, with most of the shooting done for both films, Shah Rukh is breathing a little easy now. "He is working hard on the post production of Ra.One." The battle isn't over till the film is out in the threatres. Till then, Shah Rukh won't rest," says a unit member.

Imran Khan's wedding bash is indeed a testimony to this fact.
It is, indeed, very interesting to note that no actor has sounded apologetic about his behaviour and are firm on their stance of not talking to each other.
Aamir Khan's invitation to both the warring Khans meant at least a mere chance for the actors to bond yet again. But the actors were stubborn and defiant that it's hard to spot any chance of them reuniting.
Salman Khan entered the bash at around 11:45 to bless the wedding couple Imran and Avantika with brother Sohail Khan. Alas, his exit was as sudden and quick as his entry. In fact he was nowhere to be seen when SRK entered the premises.
The industry is murmuring about another loss of opportunity in burying the hatchet between the two. So, it remains to be seen whether

She did realise her dream -- but the actor only smiled, gave autographs, posed for photographs and left, blowing flying kisses. Mehjabeen was told that he does not speak before shooting to stay within the character he is playing.
Khan, who is on a month's schedule to shoot a sequel to his earlier blockbuster "Don", saw the news of Mehjabeen spending big money on her vigil in The Star.
"Fortunately, he spotted us just as he was about to get into the car and agreed to sign autographs," Mehjabeen said, adding that she managed to draw his attention to the story in the daily about her wish to meet him. Khan autographed the news article for her.
"It is an indescribable feeling and I am so happy to have finally met him. I feel like I am in dreamland," Mehjabeen said after meeting Khan Wednesday at a resort in Ayer Keroh town.
Khan met her and seven other fans at the resort just as he was about to enter his car to go to the film location for his latest movie "Don 2".
Mehjabeen, 27, is happy, but not satisfied. She said she would still love to meet him again just to hear his voice.
"It was just a fleeting moment and he didn't say a word but merely nodded and gestured to us as he rarely speaks before filming so as not to come out of the character he is playing," Mehjabeen, pursuing her masters in business administration in Kuala Lumpur, said.
Besides taking home memories of the meeting with Khan, she said she was glad to have made new friends who shared a similar passion for the Bollywood heartthrob.
Immensely popular in Malaysia, Khan was conferred the title of Datuk, akin to knighthood, by the Sultan of Malacca in 2009.

The science fiction epic was originally planned to release theatrically with a number of climatic scenes, Mid Day claims.
A source told the newspaper: "Shah Rukh initially toyed with the idea of releasing theatrical versions of the film with alternate endings. But he soon decided it wasn't worth the risk and settled on the DVD option."
The actor is reported to have considered a range of possible closing scenes, and could not make up his mind as to which one to finalise.
"SRK has kept the making of Ra.One extremely interactive. He's taken opinions from experts as well as the layman and even his kids Aaryan and Suhana... However, when it came to the climax he was unsure how to end the story. Hence, the option of multiple endings in the DVD," the source added.
The project, which also stars Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal, is expected to release at the end of 2011.

Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and Judi Dench will be working in tandem to promote education among the low-income groups of the country with the sole aim that when these kids become bread-winners, they will have a better life and in turn provide better opportunities to their children.
And bringing these top actors together is none other than the Oscar-winning sound engineer Resul Pookutty. His foundation has been silently working towards bettering the socio-economic conditions of the poverty struck groups but he believes that the time has come to go top gear. "It is unimaginable that even in the 21st century there is rampant illiteracy in India. We are making our presence felt in the world and this aspect is something that should definitely be tackled. Along with economy and cultural boom, India should not be spoken as a country that is also illiteracy stricken," Resul told TOI.
According to Resul, Judi will play a very active role in the project. "Judi has told me to draw plans and just tell her what is to be done and she will try her level best to do more than what has been asked of her," he said. SRK's inclusion certainly bolsters the plans further. "I have met Shah Rukh while working on his movie Ra.One.
I told him all about our charity that is being supported by two big luminaries and he was more than keen to support. SRK is a silent benefactor and he too will be with us in this cause," Resul added.

And even though the infamous fight between SRK and Salman at Katrina’s birthday party had made her averse to sharing screen space with SRK, the fact that all leading ladies have romanced SRK is now persuading Kat to follow suit.
And that’s not all. As per reports, even Shah Rukh is keen to work with Katrina. Sources have revealed, "At Hrithik Roshan’s birthday bash, Katrina was seen enjoying SRK’s company.
The two talked for a long time and there was hardly any sign of animosity between the two. Not only that, Shah Rukh even escorted Kat back to her car. She left the party with Karan Johar.”
As for the director that is working hard to bring the two together onscreen, it’s none other than Karan Johar. Well, here’s looking forward to this jinxed pair coming together.
