I have few files in control machine ie host1.

My playbook/tasks are running on host2.

Try the copy module:

Besides the copy module, there is the synchronize module for syncing many files in a directory, http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/synchronize_module.html.  Feel free to review each of the modules that help with managing files, http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list_of_files_modules.html
