I vaguely remember these 2, may be I am wrong.
100th - Moodupani,
200th - Ayiram Nilave vaa

That site left out lot of films. Just in 2009 itself Raja did 18 films, but it quotes 11 movies.

100 - Moodupani (1980)
200 - Aayiram Nilave Vaa (1983)
300 - Udaya Geetham (1985)
400 - Nayagan (1987)
500 - Anjali (1990)
600 - Devar Magan (1992)
700 - Ramanaa (2002)
800 - ??
900 - Sengathu boomiyile was his 903rd film, some where in 2010/2011 he crossed his 900th. Paa was his 882nd film as mentioned by him.

I recall reading somewhere that Sri Rama Rajyam is his 900th film.

And interestingly, Danny Boyle is the architect behind the opening ceremony.

M.I.A loves IR songs and looped couple of his song in her songs. Her songs has the similar feel and gangsta attitude as in the song "naanthaan ungappandaa" it might not be a surprise if she had a big say in it.

Seriously doubt this. Did they announce Ramana as #700?
