Ansible manage crontab not set by ansible

I have a few servers where some jobs in crontab were set manually, now i want to replace them with new jobs (delete the old and add the new jobs) using ansible, i tried to delete cron with shell and add a new one with cron : 

 tasks:
        - name: "remove crontab"
          shell: crontab -r

Here i faced a pivilege escalation problem.

Is there any way to do this with cron module or to pass privilege escalation issue ?

If you have sudo access, use become:

- name: "remove crontab"
  shell: crontab -r
  become: yes
