The film is title "The Human Factor." Freeman will co-produce the film, which is based on John Carlin's book of the same name.
It is set during the 1995 Rugby World Cup, when Mr Mandela used the country's hosting of the tournament to help heal divisions between blacks and whites.
Freeman travelled to South Africa last year to discuss the project with the former president.
"I have known Nelson Mandela personally for quite some time, and am continually in awe of his enormous presence in the world," Freeman - who won a best supporting actor Oscar for Million Dollar Baby in 2005 - said.
The film is being made by Freeman's production company, Revelations Entertainment, with a script by South African writer Anthony Peckham.
