That's working. 

But I guess here i have to hard code the command. Is there any way where i 
can pass any command at the run time to execute on the remote host. 

I saw the raw module and below are the behavior i got. 

working:

/usr/bin/ansible test -m raw -a netstat -tanpu | /bin/awk '{print $5}' | 
sort -n | uniq -cd | sort -n | awk '$1 > 3{printf ("%5s\t%s\n", $1, $2)}'

Not working

/usr/bin/ansible test -m raw -a netstat -an | grep :8080
