How to use exists_movie if replace is used?

I have WD TV live player, which do not want to play movies with ":" in file name for some reason. In order to overcome this problem I had to use replace to change ":" to " -" for some movies. Unfortunately exist_movie return false even if movie exits, since it check for original name with ":".

Is there any help?

Most important parts of my config related to this problem:

    tmdb_lookup: yes

    exists_movie:
      - /mnt/data/Videos/Movies
    move:
      to: "/mnt/data/Videos/Movies/{{ tmdb_name|replace(':', ' -') }} ({{ tmdb_year }})"
      filename: "{{ tmdb_name|replace(':', ' -') }} ({{ tmdb_year }}){{location | pathext}}"
