Universal Music Group and Desi Hits said in a statement on Friday that they had brokered a worldwide recording agreement with the 29 year old and she was already writing and recording the English language pop album.
Her foray into the global music scene, a first for a Hindi-language film star and a sign of an increasingly outward-looking trend in the industry will be overseen by Troy Carter, chief executive of LA-based Atom Factory.
Carter also manages Lady Gaga, the pop culture icon of hits like "Telephone", "Poker Face" and "Born This Way" who is known for her outlandish dress sense.
"It has been a long-cherished dream which is finally coming true. I am truly excited to have an opportunity to present my musical dimension on a world platform," Chopra said.
"This is a fascinating new experience for me and I am thoroughly enjoying the journey".
Desi Hits, set up in 2007 and with offices in New York, London and Mumbai, is a media and entertainment company that specialises in "east-west fusion" and is currently working on bringing Lady Gaga to India.
The company will release Chopra's album in North America through Interscope Geffen A and M Records, part of the Universal Music Group, and in international markets through Island Records UK, the companies said.
No indication was given of the size of the deal. (AFP)
